The Bat that Flits
by Norman Collins
Set in the early 50s in the aftermath of the war, The Bat that Flits tells the story of James Hudson, a research assistant in bacteriological warfare. On arriving in Bodmin to start work at the Government centre based deep in the moors, Hudson finds a suspicious note placed on his pillow. Setting out to discover the origin of such a letter, Hudson becomes entangled in something much more sinister than he could have imagined... Originally published by The Crime Club, this is Norman Collins' first thriller. In addition to his prowess as a novelist, Collins displays an extraordinary talent for making the blood run cold.
