GREEN FOR DANGER (1946)

SIDNEY GILLIAT

Plot

August 1944. German flying bombs are raining down on London and directly under their flight path is a small cottage hospital. Inside the tension is almost unbearable for the dedicated team of surgeons and nurses, and not just because of the 'doodlebugs' and near misses, the close-knit community is torn apart by jealousy, emotional turmoil, the horrors of war and terrible secrets. When the local postman is brought in, delirious but trying to impart an urgent message, the murders begin. The eccentric and irreverent inspector Cockrill of the Kent County Police is called in to investigate a truly baffling case where everyone has secrets but no one appears to have a motive. A classic murder mystery.
