Man with a Background of Flames from the novel by RICHARD JOHNS
Adapted for radio by J. Maclaren-Ross with Frank Partington
A journalist unlucky in love and out of a job, finding no consolation from his psychiatrist, drifts into the hands of adventurers whose activities are embarrassing a giant diamond corporation. Everyday events and people become distorted: violent death looms as in a nightmare. Did it really happen, or was it all a fantasy of persecution? The police had no answer.
