Description The Ministry of Protection prior to the last war is the setting in which Falkland L. Cary and A. A. Thomson have written this murder mystery. Amid the dusty files and the inevitable red tape of a Departmental Office an important man is murdered. Was it for the secrets of the Theta Screen; or through jealously; or caused by the eternal triangle?
