Beschreibung

A relaxing holiday is cut short by murder for the Scotland Yard detective in a mystery by "one of [the genre's] subtlest and wittiest practitioners" (The New York Times).

Set on having a relaxing holiday in Tilsey, Detective Inspector Littlejohn once again finds himself pulled into a baffling investigation. When local judge Nicholas Crake is found dead in his home, Littlejohn and his partner Sergeant Cromwell have the difficult task of sifting out the murderer from a mass of feuding neighbors, friends, and family. Could Crake's faithless wife have had the means? Or his strange brother-in-law? Or what about the superintendent, who seems to be doing more to impede the case than solve it? Faced with family secrets, old grudges, and more than one dead body, Littlejohn must unravel a web of deceit to get to the bottom of this case.

A relaxing holiday is cut short by murder for the Scotland Yard detective in a mystery by "one of [the genre's] subtlest and wittiest practitioners" (The New York Times).

Über den Autor

George Bellairs was the pseudonym of Harold Blundell (1902-1982). He was, by day, a Manchester bank manager with close connections to the University of Manchester. He is often referred to as the English Simenon, as his detective stories combine wicked crimes and classic police procedurals set in quaint villages. He was born in Lancashire and married Gladys Mabel Roberts in 1930. He was a devoted Francophile and travelled there frequently, writing for English newspapers and magazines and weaving French towns into his fiction. Bellairs' first mystery, Littlejohn on Leave (1941), introduced his series detective, Detective Inspector Thomas Littlejohn. Full of scandal and intrigue, the series peeks inside small towns in the mid-twentieth century, and Littlejohn is injected with humour, intelligence and compassion. Bellairs died on the Isle of Man in April 1982 just before his eightieth birthday.
