She lost her memory – now her life is at risk. Classic crime from one of the greats of the Detection Club "Wake up, Sunshine," said the young man on Beachampton Parade to the pretty fair-haired girl in the blue coat. But that was just what she couldn't do. "I don't know where I'm going, because I don't know who I am; I don't know how I got here and I don't know why. And I can't ask the police to help me me, because . . ." Well, why couldn't she? This is the problem confronting the heroine of Anthony Gilbert's new novel. With no home, no name, no past that she could recall, no future she could anticipate, what was she to do? Her isolation was an unconventional one, leading her into a world of suspicion, jealousy and violent death, which in its turn involved the reappearance of a man from the past who could supply the missing links. When lawyer/detective Arthur Crook bumped into this woman (called Barbara) on the parade at Beachampton it became apparent to him that she had no idea who she was. She had been somehow involved in the sudden deaths of two rich old ladies but something had instinctively prevented her from going to the police. Now Barbara finds herself under grave suspicion and fighting for her life. But will Arthur Crook be able to untangle the mystery? Two murders, a daring impersonation, a seeking after identity—these are the mainsprings of the story—with, of course, Arthur Crook, that least conventional of lawyers, to take a hand and unravel as complex a tangle as ever came his way. Ingenious and exciting, Give Death a Name is a fine example of the type of crime story that combines a detective problem with a thrilling story of suspense.
