Green for Danger

Postman Higgins delivers seven letters of application to a military hospital in 1942, but one of the senders turns out to be a murderer a year later. Higgins' death from asphyxiation casts suspicion on four nurses and three doctors, and a second death invites Inspector Cockrill to investigate. A tense and claustrophobic investigation begins to determine who committed the foul deeds and how it was possible to kill with no evidence left behind.

In 1942, as the postman Higgins trudges up the hill to the new military hospital, Heron's Park, Kent, he has no inkling that the sender of one of the seven application letters he is delivering will eventually become a murderer within a year. When Higgins is brought in after sustaining injuries from a bombing raid in 1943, his inexplicable death from asphyxiation at the operating table casts four nurses and three doctors under suspicion. A second death in quick succession prompts the arrival of the irascible, yet remarkably sharp, Inspector Cockrill to the scene. As the inspector spends the night driving back across Kent amidst falling bombs, a tense and claustrophobic investigation commences to determine the perpetrator of the foul deeds and how they were able to commit murder without leaving any evidence behind.
