Description
'Death in Captivity' by Michael Gilbert is a wartime mystery set in an Italian prisoner-of-war camp during the Second World War. When a British prisoner is found dead, apparently from natural causes, suspicion falls on the camp's inhabitants, and the investigation reveals tensions, rivalries and secrets among the prisoners and their captors. Gilbert draws on his own experience as a prisoner of war in Italy to create a claustrophobic setting in which the usual rules of criminal investigation are complicated by captivity and wartime conditions. First published in 1952, the novel combines traditional detective fiction with a vivid portrayal of life inside a prisoner-of-war camp.
