Why Didn't They Ask Evans?

Straight arrow Bobby Jones and bent longbow Frankie Derwent take up the challenge posed by a dying man's last words. Together, the two childhood friends plunge into a thicket of deceit, greed and murder that lies hidden within the cryptic question: Why Didn't They Ask Evans?

Having survived an attempt on his life, Bobby Jones resolves to forge deeper into the mystery behind the question: Why Didn't They Ask Evans? With Frankie Derwent forcing the pace, the two friends concoct a plan to infiltrate the home of their principal suspect: the absurdly charming Roger Bassington-ffrench.

Frankie and Bobby's suspicions now shift to The Grange, a large and forbidding psychiatric clinic that looms menacingly over the Hampshire countryside. All lines of enquiry now lead to the clinic's director and likely mastermind of the conspiracy - the sinister Dr. James Nicholson.
