Synopsis
“I wouldn’t come any nearer if I were you. It’s not a thing to see unless you have to.”
The remote Conqueror Inn, possibly the oldest licensed house in England, has an unexpectedly key role to play in World War Two. Lorry drivers, army camps, black marketeers and even the IRA become entangled in the sinister web which draws this novel’s plot together. Bobby Owen, after finding a case of banknotes, has to identify a corpse mutilated in its grave, ignore the red herrings thrown in his way ... and identify a ruthless killer who uses the confusion of war to conceal his tracks.
The Conqueror Inn was first published in 1943, the eighteenth of the Bobby Owen mysteries, a series eventually including thirty-five novels. This new edition features an introduction by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans.
“What is distinction? ... in the works of Mr. E.R. Punshon we salute it every time.” Dorothy L. Sayers
“[An] extremely intricate crime puzzle with an equally intricate solution” New York Times Book Review
“[An] impressive baffler by one of the better English practitioners.” New York Herald Tribune Book Review
“Solid construction ... distinguished characterization” San Francisco Chronicle
“One of the foremost British thriller-writers here gives us a first-class mystery, replete with creeps, thrills and tingles of foreboding as one grim scene builds into another and suspicion is expertly thrown in turn against each actor in this sinister drama of greed and hate couched in wartime datelines. ... A better tale of dark deeds would be hard to come by.” Hoofs and Horns

About the Author
E.R. Punshon was born in London in 1872.
At the age of fourteen he started life in an office. His employers soon informed him that he would never make a really satisfactory clerk, and he, agreeing, spent the next few years wandering about Canada and the United States, endeavouring without great success to earn a living in any occupation that offered. Returning home by way of working a passage on a cattle boat, he began to write. He contributed to many magazines and periodicals, wrote plays, and published nearly fifty novels, among which his detective stories proved the most popular and enduring.
He died in 1956.
