But his curiosity overcame his scruples and induced him to answer a call to look in on his friend, Roland- the man whom both the Foreign and War Offices might have claimed but didn't. A Time to Kill- After the murderous events in which he had so recently and so unwillingly been involved, Roger Taine resolved to steer clear of such entanglements in the future. Together with the Polish ex-general Sandorski, Taine works to uncover the activities of an underground European organization operating in England through the supposedly innocuous People's Union. This touches off a wild and intricately plotted tale which develops into a first-class story of international intrigue. Taine's reaction is that of many of us in danger- hide the evidence. He discovers that the man has been killed by falling on a sharp-pointed spike. Intending to scare them off, he gives one of them a dose of birdshot, then is horrified to see him keel over while his companion runs away. One day he sees two men acting suspiciously like poachers setting traps in the hedges. A Rough Shoot- Roger Taine, who lives in a small village in Dorset with his wife and two young sons, is accustomed to spend his Saturdays on a 450-acre area nearby where he has leased the shooting rights.
