A special 100th anniversary edition of J.S. Fletchers best detective novel, recognised as one of the Golden Ages earliest and most successful classic stories.





An unidentified elderly gentleman is found bludgeoned to death in Londons Middle Temple, that enclave of justice between Fleet Street and the Thames. After due investigation the police conclude that it was merely a case of robbery. But Frank Spargo, a young journalist who senses a scoop, and Inspector Rathbury of New Scotland Yard, who doesnt, soon unearth fresh clues and join forces to solve an intricate and intriguing mystery.



Joseph Smith Fletcher was a British writer and fellow of the Royal Historical Society who had studied law before turning to journalism. Dubbed the Dean of Mystery Writers, his literary career spanned some 200 books, with the seminal The Middle Temple Murder acclaimed as one of the genres defining novels, popular on both sides of the Atlantic with readers, critics and US Presidents alike.



This Detective Club classic is introduced by the detective fiction historian Nigel Moss, celebrating 100 years since the books first publication. It includes the bonus of Fletchers earlier short story The Contents of the Coffin, his precursor to the full-length The Middle Temple Murder.

Recenzijas

Fletcher's best detective novel and the novel that led to his great success in the United States in the 1920s GADetection.com



Ingenious, complicated and much better written than the average New York Times Book



Mr Fletchers mysteries are good, sound, unpretentious writing, just what they profess to be, good rattling stories of which the plot is the chief character The Outlook



An Ingenious, cleverly constructed tale, distinctive in plot and incidents and written with as much zest and freshness as if it were his first. The type of mental equipment that can produce each year three or more complicated plots, each dressed out with multitudinous thrilling incidents, will always be a marvel to those who do not possess it. The talent has won him an immense army of readers in all English-speaking lands the kind of fiction readers who want complications and thrills, a mystery and a maze of incidents. New York Times
