Synopsis
Set in the Channel Islands, this little known mystery is what Dickens would have written had he lived in the 20th century. Opening with the emotional cries of an old woman who believes herself wronged by a wealthy moneylender, the scene shifts to the disappearance of the moneylender, and introduces a host of detectives--amateur, private, and police--all in one story. - The Mystery Lover's Companion, Art Bourgeau

Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 292 pages. Reprint of the edition published by William Collins, London, 1931. Setin the Channel Islands the clamor is raised by Mere Trouteaud, an old woman who believes herself wronged by Hilaire de Quettville, a wealthy neighbor. It is an intensely dramatic episode, one that sets the stage for an unusually puzzling and well-crafted crime drama. Readers are liberal amounts of forensic medicine, a smattering of psychiatric diagnosis and a constant shifting of perspective that conceals the true nature of the crime. Seller Inventory # 5455
