Description

The British Library
A republished mystery from 1932, ‘Before the Fact’ was adapted for the acclaimed film, ‘Suspicion’, released in 1941, and directed by Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980).
An unsettling and suspense-filled story as Lina Aysgarth begins to think her husband, Johnnie, might be a murderer. Told from Lina’s point-of-view, the novel spans the unlikely courtship of the meek heiress Lina and her marriage to the irrepressible but inveterate gambler, Johnnie Aysgarth. As Lina discovers lies and concerning flaws in her husband’s behaviour and personality her suspicions mount…. Could she herself become his next victim? A psychological thriller by Francis Iles, the pen name of acclaimed crime writer Anthony Berkeley Cox (1893-1971).
