> In this vintage novel, first published in 1959, Michael Innes provided a new excitement for Sir John Appleby. A top level bacteriological scientist has disappeared and, it is thought, may be carrying round with him a culture of almost inconceivable virulence. Kidnapped? Quitted to the enemy? A nervous breakdown? Or, a more fearful possibility, is he quietly mad and planning the destruction of the whole of verminous humanity? These are the possibilities that face Appleby when he gets his instructions from the Prime Minister at the start of *Hare Sitting Up*.

30 September 1906 – 12 November 1994
"John Innes Mackintosh Stewart was a Scottish novelist and academic. He is equally well known for the works of literary criticism and contemporary novels published under his real name and for the crime fiction published under the pseudonym of Michael Innes. Many devotees of the Innes books were unaware of his other 'identity', and vice-versa." - Wikipedia
