Victor Canning, a thriller and travel book writer, noted that Capern's "is better poetry than one would expect from a postman, and if it has a little breathlessness then it shows how truly the postman who wrote it has worked his own personality into the lines."
It is based on the Victor Canning novel, The House of the Seven Flies, published in 1952.
In 1965 he began a series of four books featuring a private detective called Rex Carver, and these were among his most successful in sales terms.
