Synopsis

Something Very Special (Again!) In The Way of Detective Stories First novel by Cameron McCabe (Ernst Julius Bornemann). Published in 1937, it's a fascinating story of murder and intrigue, with the killer dying half-way through, and his narrative picked up by the policeman who'd been trailing him. Unique. And worth it just for the fake quotes by leading literary figures of the day.

About this title

About the Author:

Though The Face on the Cutting-Room Floor was first published in 1937, the true identity of its author remained a mystery until 1974 when it was discovered that the well-known German sexologist, jazz musician and critic Ernest Borneman was "Cameron McCabe." Borneman died in 1995. Jonathan Coe is the author of The Rotters' Club and Number 11.

Review:

"A dazzling . . . unrepeatable box of tricks . . . The detective story to end all detective stories." —Julian Symons
