high octane thriller with plenty of twists and turns! Another highly-popular entry in the successful run of Francis Durbridge thrillers, A Game Of Murder is a six part BBC drama about the suspicious death of Bob Kerry (Anthony Sagar), a once-famous athlete in peak condition who is found dead on a golf course. The coroner records a verdict of death by misadventure, but Kerry s son Jack (Gerald Harper), a Detective Inspector with the Metropolitan Police, is determined to seek out the true nature of events which lead up to his death. His pursuit of the truth and the evidence which confirms his suspicions sees the body count rise to the tune of one an episode, reaching its climax with the customarily unexpected Durbridge twist at the end. This BBC drama production is marked by the fact that the storyline is fast paced and demonstrates Durbridge s ability to successfully utilise a cliff-hanger ending to superb advantage, including the famously-cited Don t Answer That Telephone climax to one episode. Gerald Harper, well-known to audiences as Adam Adamant, plays the leading role, supported by Conrad Phillips, David Burke, Christopher Wray, June Barry, Peter Copley and Dorothy White
