An excellent mystery, this book anticipates the CSI genre by a couple of generations. The forensics are critical, as is the solid timeline methodology of Wharton (the General) of Scotland Yard, and Ludo Travers, the successful economist/financier turned amateur sleuth. The characters are great, the plot is rich and finely woven, resulting in a captivating story and a growing affection for the principals. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SerieLudovic Travers (7)
Travers looked down at the face. On the collar was a red patch and a long streak. Across the throat was a gash. Two rival London newspaper tycoons are at daggers drawn. But when Sir William Griffith's corpse turns up in a hamper, his throat cut from ear to ear, the enmity appears to turned deadly. Or is it instead a case of domestic terrorism? Superintendent Wharton of the Yard brings Ludovic Travers into the case and together they investigate a gallery of additional suspects: explorer Tim Griffiths; Sir William's financial secretary, Bland, and his wife; local vicar Reverend Cross; an archetypally sinister butler ... and an intrusive crime reporter, who always seems to find himself in the thick of a crime scene. Wharton and Travers come to believe they have identified their murderer - but how can they break a cast-iron alibi? Cut Throat was originally published in 1932. This new edition features an introduction by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
