Keith Stewart, a retiring and ingenious engineer, could not have been happier in his little house in the shabby London suburb of Ealing. There he invented the mini-motor, the six-volt generator, and the tiny Congreve clock. Then a chain of events sweeps him into deep waters and leads him to his happiest discovery yet.

The (printed) book opens with the funny quote: "An engineer is a man who can do for five bob, what any bloody fool can do for a quid."
This recording is another of my personal favorites.
Nevil Shute also wrote A Town Like Alice, Round the Bend, On The Beach, and others.
Nevil Shute Norway was both a popular novelist and a successful aeronautical engineer. He used Nevil Shute as his pen name, and his full name in his engineering career, in order to protect his engineering career from any potential negative publicity in connection with his novels.
Shute died in January, 1960, and "Trustee" was published posthumously later that year by his daughter.
The plot of the novel hinges on the actions of a technical journalist, Keith Stewart, whose life has been focused on the design and engineering of scale-model machinery. Stewart writes serial articles about how to create scale models in a magazine called the Miniature Mechanic, which are extremely well regarded in the modelling community--as is he. He is called upon to hide a metal box in his sisters and brother in laws boat just before they plan to leave in it to emigrate to Canada. Until they are settled in British Columbia, their daughter, Keiths niece, is to remain with Keith and his wife. His in-laws are lost at sea in French Polynesia. After the deaths are confirmed, Keith is told, by his in-laws solicitor, that there is almost no money in the estate, but there is evidence that Keiths brother-in-law has converted his wealth into diamonds to take with him abroad, to evade export and currency restrictions intended to prevent capital leaving Britain. Keiths guardianship of his niece is now permanent, and he becomes her trustee (hence the title), but where is her money?
