Flash Point is a novel by the British author Michael Gilbert published in England by Hodder and Stoughton and in the United States by Harper & Row 1n 1976. It was Gilbert's 17th novel.
As one of Gilbert's editors said after his death in 2006, "He's not a hard-boiled writer in the classic sense, but there is a hard edge to him, a feeling within his work that not all of society is rational, that virtue is not always rewarded.".[1] Such is the case here.
