After a series of robberies, Scotland Yard are mystified. In the latest a night watchman is attacked, and in his last breath manages to gasp out 'The Green Finger'. This is not the first time the phrase has come to the attention of the Yard; it was also said by a man who was wanted in connection with another robbery as he died from drowning. Who or what is the 'Green Finger'? The public are alarmed and the press demand that the Yard 'Send for Paul Temple' Aided by a young, pretty, reporter known as Steve Trent, Paul is faced with solving a deepening and widening mystery.

Francis Henry Durbridge was born in Hull, Yorkshire, in 1912 and was educated at Bradford Grammar School. He was encouraged at an early age to write by his English teacher and went on to read English at Birmingham University. While an undergraduate, he started to develop the radio play format for which he first became known. At the age of twenty-one he sold a play to the BBC and continued to write following his graduation while working as a stockbroker's clerk. In 1938, by this time writing full time, he created the character Paul Temple, a crime novelist and detective. With Steve Trent, a Fleet Street journalist and later his wife, Temple solved numerous crimes. Durbridge's style was very much in the mode of the earlier Golden Age middle-class amateur detectives. The first book, "Send for Paul Temple," was written along with John Thewes as the novelization of a radio serial. Many others followed and they were hugely successful until the last of the series was completed in 1968.
