Villainous Saltpetre (1962) by Clifford Witting 0 ▲ crossexaminingcrime 162 days ago · Film & TV · hide When I saw this book advertised I was intrigued by the premise, due to its setting, its choice of victim; a writer, and the fact this victim had a history for faking events in his life. Witting dedicated this novel to Sir Derrick and Lady Verner. I think this would have been Sir Edward Derrick Wingfield Verner, 6th Baronet and his wife, Lady Angèle Verner, although I could be wrong! I’m not sure how Witting knew these two. Commenting on Bubbles has been removed. Why?
