‘As ingenious a murder mystery as I have read for some time’ TRUTH
When the elderly Lord Prentice is found dead in a snowdrift on the grounds of his estate, many reasonably assumed that his passing was a natural one of death from exposure. However, not everybody took this view. The two doctors who performed a post mortem examination found grounds enough to be uneasy with the Coroner’s verdict of a natural death. As did local policeman Superintendent McTurn, who feels there are two many unanswered questions about the death. Scotland Yard is called in to investigate what seems to be the almost perfect murder. But has the devious murder covered their tracks enough to prevent Inspector Treadgold catching them?
First published in 1934, this is a Golden Age murder mystery.
ANTHONY WEYMOUTH was the pen name of IVO GEIKIE COBB (1887-1953) a successful London doctor who also wrote several books on medicine, history and an autobiography. Luckily for his readers he also turned his hand to writing a series of detective novels featuring the brilliant, but eccentric Inspector Treadgold. This highly individual detective features in six novels and a collection of short stories starting with FROZEN DEATH.
This is the first Inspector Treadgold mystery.
