The Franchise Affair

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. Jacket by Ray Russell Ilustrador. 1st Edition. First published in 1948, this is an eighth impression of 1975. Ex library but with quite discreet stamps on copyright page, bottom of page block and rear endpapers. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, very slight lean, price clipped but price replaced with publisher's sticker (£9.95), no personal inscriptions, internally clean and tight, overall quite a reasonable copy of Josephine Tey's classic thriller. 272pp. Marion Sharpe and her mother seem an unlikely duo to be found on the wrong side of the law. Quiet and ordinary, they have led a peaceful and unremarkable life at their country home, The Franchise. Unremarkable that is, until the police turn up with a demure young woman on their doorstep. Not only does Betty Kane accuse them of kidnap and abuse, she can back up her claim with a detailed description of the attic room in which she was kept, right down to the crack in its round window. But there's something about Betty Kane's story that doesn't quite add up. Inspector Alan Grant of Scotland Yard is stumped. And it takes Robert Blair, local solicitor turned amateur detective, to solve the mystery that lies at the heart of The Franchise Affair. Nº de ref. del artículo: 003212
