In “Sion Crossing” (1984), a character named Oliver Latimer, a sort of rival of Audley’s, travels to the United States and gets involved in a mystery in Georgia related to the Civil War. “A New Kind of War” (1988) begins in Greece in 1945, then shifts to the Teutoburg Forest in Germany and makes reference to a battle the Romans fought there 2,000 years earlier. If Mr. Price’s books never became blockbusters, they did garner critical praise. Anthony rarely saw his father during childhood, and after his mother died when he was a boy, he was raised by an aunt in Canterbury. About the same time, he took a job at The Oxford Times; by 1972 he had worked his way up to editor, a position he held until he retired in 1988.
