Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Imagine a quiet morning on the Welsh coast interrupted by a grisly discovery: a massive, heavy crate washed up by the tide, containing a body that defies explanation. This chilling setup marks the beginning of The Sea Mystery, a standout work by Freeman Wills Crofts, one of the legendary mas…ters from the Golden Age of Detection. When local police find themselves baffled by the complete lack of clues, Scotland Yard dispatches its most methodical and relentless investigator, Inspector French, to untangle the web of deception.This novel is a quintessential puzzle mystery that demands logic over luck, inviting readers to follow every lead alongside a detective who never takes a shortcut. As a pioneer of the police procedural, Crofts meticulously builds a case where alibis are dismantled with surgical precision and no detail is too small to ignore. Although the vast coastline provides the backdrop, the narrative maintains a locked room mystery style intensity, as the list of suspects narrows and the "impossible" nature of the crime takes center stage.Set against the evocative backdrop of 1920s detective fiction, this story offers more than just a crime to solve; it provides a vivid window into a bygone era of investigative rigor. As part of the prestigious British Library Crime Classics series, this book remains a must-read for fans of classic mystery reprints who crave high-stakes intellectual challenges. Dive into a world where the tide brings in more than just salt and sand, and see if you can solve the riddle before the final gear in this clockwork plot clicks into place. A Golden Age of Detection gem in the British Library Crime Classics. Inspector French tackles a puzzle mystery with 1920s detective fiction flair. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Imagine a man so wealthy he could buy half of London, yet so miserable he'd argue over the price of a penny. That's Harvey Lyne for you. He lives in a house that feels more like a fortress, surrounded by locks, bars, and a personality like a grumpy cactus. But one morning, the impossible hap…pens: the fortress is breached. Lyne is found dead in his study, and the room is locked from the inside. There's no weapon, no obvious motive, and the only weird thing in the room is a tiny, delicate silver key.This discovery kicks off The Clue of the Silver Key, a high-stakes ride through the foggy streets of 1930s London. When the local police hit a dead end, we get to see Inspector "Surefoot" Smith in action. Now, don't let the name fool you-Smith isn't always the most graceful guy in the room, but he's got a mind like a steel trap. He's up against a cast of characters that would make anyone suspicious: a private secretary who knows too much, a doctor with a shady past, and a young woman caught in a web of inheritance and lies.As a result of Lyne's death, everyone starts scrambling for his hidden fortune. You'll find yourself racing alongside Smith as he tries to figure out how someone could commit a murder in a sealed room and vanish into thin air. On the other hand, the clock is ticking, and the killer isn't finished yet. Edgar Wallace was known as the "King of Thrillers" for a reason-he knows exactly how to keep you turning pages long after you should've gone to sleep. He doesn't waste time on boring descriptions; he jumps straight into the action and keeps the tension at a boiling point.In addition, the atmosphere is just fantastic. You can practically hear the clatter of horse-drawn carriages and see the dim glow of gaslights as Smith follows the trail of that mysterious silver key. It's a classic whodunnit that challenges you to solve the puzzle before the final reveal. If you love a mystery that's fast, fun, and filled with clever twists, you're going to have a blast with this one. It's a brilliant reminder that sometimes the smallest key can unlock the biggest, darkest secrets! A miser is found murdered in a locked room with only a silver key as a clue. Inspector Surefoot Smith must navigate a web of greed and London shadows to solve an impossible crime in this fast-paced thriller by the legendary Edgar Wallace. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Imagine a lonely, crumbling house tucked away in the desolate sweeps of Dartmoor. It's called Starvel Hollow, and it's about as eerie as you'd expect. One night, the entire place goes up in a terrifying blaze, leaving nothing but charred ruins and three bodies in the ashes. Initially, everyo…ne-including the local police-assumes it's just a tragic accident. After all, an old miser living in a house full of old paper and wood is a recipe for disaster. But when a few half-burnt banknotes turn up in a place they definitely shouldn't be, the "accident" starts looking a lot more like a calculated, cold-blooded execution.As a result, Scotland Yard sends in our man, Inspector Joseph French. If you're looking for a detective who has a magical "vision" while smoking a pipe, you've got the wrong guy! French is all about the grind. He arrives on the moors and immediately starts his signature "pegging away" at the facts. He sifts through the literal ashes to find the one tiny detail that doesn't fit. What he uncovers is a plot so devious it'll make your head spin. We're talking about a criminal mastermind who didn't just kill for a fortune; they staged an entire inferno to make the world believe the victims were still inside.The investigation pulls you from the atmospheric, damp moors of Devon right into the heart of London and even up to the rugged hills of Yorkshire. You'll watch French dismantle what looks like an ironclad alibi by sheer persistence and brilliant logic. In addition, the way Freeman Wills Crofts describes the technical side of the crime is just fantastic. Since he was a railway engineer, he treats a crime scene like a complex machine that needs to be taken apart bolt by bolt. You'll find yourself scrutinizing the weight of the remains and the timing of the fire right alongside him.On the other hand, the tension never lets up. This isn't just a dry puzzle; it's a high-stakes hunt for a killer who thinks they've committed the perfect crime. The atmosphere is so thick you can almost smell the smoke and the moorland air. As the web of lies finally begins to unravel, you'll see how one man's relentless dedication to the truth can bring down the most "ingenious" of villains. If you love a story where the detective earns every single breakthrough through hard work, you're going to absolutely love this one. It's a classic that reminds us why Crofts is the king of the procedural! A Dartmoor house fire leaves three dead, but Inspector French suspects a clever cover-up. He must sift through the ashes to break a perfect alibi in this atmospheric 1920s masterpiece of logic and relentless "pegging away." This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. If you're looking for a detective who has a sudden "vision" or finds a clue because of some lucky coincidence, you're looking in the wrong place. Meet Inspector Joseph French. He doesn't rely on magic; he relies on hard work. In this story-the one that started it all back in 1924-you're drop…ped right into the heart of London's diamond district, Hatton Garden. Everything seems normal until a junior partner at a big firm is found murdered and the safe is completely empty. We're talking about 30,000 worth of diamonds just gone.You'll follow French as he takes over the case, and trust me, he doesn't stay in London for long. His search for the killer and those missing gems pulls you across the English Channel and straight into the breathtaking scenery of the Swiss Alps. But don't let the pretty view distract you! In the Engadine valley, French has to navigate a total mess of alibis and fake clues. The heart of the mystery is all about timing. You'll watch as he scrutinizes train schedules and shipping records with the precision of an engineer.Since Freeman Wills Crofts actually was a railway engineer, he built this plot like a complex machine. Every gear turns perfectly, and there isn't a single wasted minute. You're going to see French dismantle a defense that looks absolutely airtight at first glance. He calls it "pegging away"-the steady, professional accumulation of evidence that eventually leaves the criminal with nowhere to hide. On the other hand, the atmosphere of post-war Europe is so vividly rendered you'll feel like you're actually there, breathing in the crisp mountain air.In addition, there aren't any cheap thrills or supernatural shortcuts here. It's just you and French against a brilliant criminal mind in a high-stakes game of chess. If you enjoy a sophisticated puzzle that actually rewards you for paying attention, this debut case is going to be your new favorite. It's a story of high-stakes theft, cold-blooded murder, and the ultimate triumph of human logic. Get comfortable, because once you start tracking those diamonds with French, you won't want to stop until every single lie has been unraveled. A diamond heist in Hatton Garden and a murder launch Inspector French's career. You'll follow him from London to the Swiss Alps as he breaks a "perfect" alibi in this 1924 classic that basically invented the modern police procedural. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Imagine a lonely, crumbling house tucked away in the desolate sweeps of Dartmoor. It's called Starvel Hollow, and it's about as eerie as you'd expect. One night, the entire place goes up in a terrifying blaze, leaving nothing but charred… ruins and three bodies in the ashes. Initially, everyone-including the local police-assumes it's just a tragic accident. After all, an old miser living in a house full of old paper and wood is a recipe for disaster. But when a few half-burnt banknotes turn up in a place they definitely shouldn't be, the 'accident' starts looking a lot more like a calculated, cold-blooded execution.As a result, Scotland Yard sends in our man, Inspector Joseph French. If you're looking for a detective who has a magical 'vision' while smoking a pipe, you've got the wrong guy! French is all about the grind. He arrives on the moors and immediately starts his signature 'pegging away' at the facts. He sifts through the literal ashes to find the one tiny detail that doesn't fit. What he uncovers is a plot so devious it'll make your head spin. We're talking about a criminal mastermind who didn't just kill for a fortune; they staged an entire inferno to make the world believe the victims were still inside.The investigation pulls you from the atmospheric, damp moors of Devon right into the heart of London and even up to the rugged hills of Yorkshire. You'll watch French dismantle what looks like an ironclad alibi by sheer persistence and brilliant logic. In addition, the way Freeman Wills Crofts describes the technical side of the crime is just fantastic. Since he was a railway engineer, he treats a crime scene like a complex machine that needs to be taken apart bolt by bolt. You'll find yourself scrutinizing the weight of the remains and the timing of the fire right alongside him.On the other hand, the tension never lets up. This isn't just a dry puzzle; it's a high-stakes hunt for a killer who thinks they've committed the perfect crime. The atmosphere is so thick you can almost smell the smoke and the moorland air. As the web of lies finally begins to unravel, you'll see how one man's relentless dedication to the truth can bring down the most 'ingenious' of villains. If you love a story where the detective earns every single breakthrough through hard work, you're going to absolutely love this one. It's a classic that reminds us why Crofts is the king of the procedural.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - If you're looking for a detective who has a sudden 'vision' or finds a clue because of some lucky coincidence, you're looking in the wrong place. Meet Inspector Joseph French. He doesn't rely on magic; he relies on hard work. In this sto…ry-the one that started it all back in 1924-you're dropped right into the heart of London's diamond district, Hatton Garden. Everything seems normal until a junior partner at a big firm is found murdered and the safe is completely empty. We're talking about £30,000 worth of diamonds just gone.You'll follow French as he takes over the case, and trust me, he doesn't stay in London for long. His search for the killer and those missing gems pulls you across the English Channel and straight into the breathtaking scenery of the Swiss Alps. But don't let the pretty view distract you! In the Engadine valley, French has to navigate a total mess of alibis and fake clues. The heart of the mystery is all about timing. You'll watch as he scrutinizes train schedules and shipping records with the precision of an engineer.Since Freeman Wills Crofts actually was a railway engineer, he built this plot like a complex machine. Every gear turns perfectly, and there isn't a single wasted minute. You're going to see French dismantle a defense that looks absolutely airtight at first glance. He calls it 'pegging away'-the steady, professional accumulation of evidence that eventually leaves the criminal with nowhere to hide. On the other hand, the atmosphere of post-war Europe is so vividly rendered you'll feel like you're actually there, breathing in the crisp mountain air.In addition, there aren't any cheap thrills or supernatural shortcuts here. It's just you and French against a brilliant criminal mind in a high-stakes game of chess. If you enjoy a sophisticated puzzle that actually rewards you for paying attention, this debut case is going to be your new favorite. It's a story of high-stakes theft, cold-blooded murder, and the ultimate triumph of human logic. Get comfortable, because once you start tracking those diamonds with French, you won't want to stop until every single lie has been unraveled.
