His last book, it was published posthumously in 1988. Plot summarySet against the background of an Italy poised on the brink of war with Abyssinia in 1935, the story focuses on chartered accountant Arthur Waters. He is sent to Milan to audit the books of an Italian firm. His seemingly straightforward mission becomes somewhat hampered when he becomes involved with the beautiful Emma and the treacherous Bazzini. But his problems really begin when he is mistaken for a British spy and prevented from leaving the country.[1] References1. ^Marshall, B: An Account of Capers Houghton Mifflin 1988. {{Bruce Marshall}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Account of Capers}}{{1980s-hist-novel-stub}} 6 : 1988 British novels|Novels by Bruce Marshall|Novels published posthumously|Novels set in Milan|1935 in fiction|Novels set in the 1930s |
