Philip Harbottle

George Carter and his wife and two teenage daughters are just an ordinary family, living peacefully in the small British town of Uphill. But then they hear a bulletin that a homicidal maniac is in the area, reportedly toting a suitcase with a broken handle containing the chopped-up body parts of a female victim. And when a new lodger appears at their house, and George discovers a women's leg inside the man's suitcase, all hell breaks loose.... A crime novel written by Philip J. Harbottle, based on the teleplay by John Russell Fearn.
