The industrial and financial tycoon, and former stalwart of the British Cabinet, had been shot in the head and left in the quiet Vale of Health alongside London's Hampstead Heath. Nearby, a rejected portrait of Sir Robert is found riddled with bullets in the studio of the now- missing romantic artist Matt Caldwell.As it hurtles towards its feverish denouement under the bells of the capital's most famous clock, this closely observed and stylish study of both character and motive transports the reader from the Stock Exchange to Scotland Yard. It asks the question of what it means to be crooked and how immense power corrupts.First published in 1934, this novel is now extremely rare, and is long overdue its rediscovery.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 190mmItem Length: 130mmAuthor: David MagarshackContributor: Martin Edwards (Introduction by)Genre: FictionTopic: Crime Thrillers & MysteryBook Series: British Library Crime ClassicsISBN-10: 0712354832Type: MysteryRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
