PERSONS OF INTEREST
by Michael Joll
Constable B.H. Masters, recently of the London Metropolitan Police, joins the Colonial Police Force in 1924 and is posted to Malaya as Inspector. Over the course of eight mysteries, Masters encounters dead bodies, beautiful, and usually married women, (off limits owing to the morals clause in his service contract), and confronts racism, class distinction, and the old boy network. Snakes, tropical disease, monsoon rains, guns and villains conspire to thwart his attempts to solve crimes. Sometimes he succeeds, doing his best with few resources and little help.

Attention CommuterLit Contributors
It's time to clean up the files on the site. To make way for further postings, our first two years of posts (2010-2011) have been deleted. That means some of the links on contributor pages are defunct. Please be patient as we delete those links over the next few weeks.
