When a seemingly routine investigation spirals into a labyrinth of deception and moral ambiguity, Miles Tripp once again proves himself a master of the British crime novel. The Fifth Point of the Compass chronicles a gripping tale of hidden truths and dangerous pursuit, set against the shadowy backdrops that Tripp rendered with such atmospheric precision — a world where the familiar suddenly becomes treacherous, and where the line between hunter and hunted is never quite as clear as it seems. Tripp, a solicitor by trade and a storyteller by instinct, brought an acute legal and psychological intelligence to his fiction, crafting narratives that are as intellectually rigorous as they are compulsively readable. Published by Macmillan in 1967, this novel stands as a testament to a period when British crime writing was at its most inventive, rewarding readers who appreciate both taut plotting and richly drawn characters. For those who savour mysteries that linger long after the final page, this is a volume that demands attention.
