starring Gerald Harper, Conrad Phillips, David Burke
(First shown on BBC-2)

When once-famous athlete Bob Kerry is found dead on a golf course his son Jack refuses to accept the coroner's verdict of death by misadventure. As a detective-inspector on leave he is able to follow up his suspicions, and in the process he discovers the secrets of his father's private life-discoveries which guarantee six suspenseful episodes.

"...a new Francis Durbridge serial, 'A Game of Murder,' in which Mr. Durbridge, with his own virtuosity, cooked up a situation of endless potentialities and baffling mystifications. Like all his work, it will leave us no peace until we know the answer." (The Times)
"The question is not whether the story's suspense will keep taut, but whether we can be suspended for so many weeks without snapping." (Daily Sketch)
