The British Library
An evocative, British mystery from the 1930s: a golden age of crime writing. When the body of Sir Robert Boniface, a financial tycoon and former member of the Cabinet, is found shot dead in his limousine, questions of murder, high finance and skulduggery come into the open. When a portrait of Sir Robert is found riddled with bullets and the artist who painted it goes missing the plot thickens. Can Inspector Beckett and Superintendent Mooney unravel a case which seems to have an ever-expanding number of suspects? A thrilling, London-set tale originally published in 1934 which explores power and corruption, from London’s Stock Exchange to Scotland Yard. One of three crime novels written by David Magarshack (1899-1977), a Riga-born writer also known for his translations of Russian literature.
