Death in Captivity is a British mystery novel by Michael Gilbert, first published in the United Kingdom in 1952 by Hodder and Stoughton and in the United States by Harper & Brothers. It was Gilbert's sixth novel and, unlike his previous ones, does not feature Chief Inspector Hazlerigg in any way. Nor is it set in Gilbert's usual London or France. Instead, while it is a classical detective story in many ways, it is also a harrowing tale that takes place in a 1943 prisoner of war camp for British officers in northern Italy.
