Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)

Hardcover. A series of standalone crime novellas, each with a literary bent. In 1950s London, a literary agent finds fame when he secretly steals a young woman's brilliant novel manuscript and publishes it under his own name, Lewis Carson. Two days after their meeting, the woman is found strangled on Peckham Rye Common: did Lewis purloin the manuscript as an act of callous opportunism, or as the spoils of a calculated murder? When a dead body is found at a remote writers' retreat, the local police and coroner quickly rule the cause of death as suicide. But the other writers at the retreat embark on an evening of squabbling about the death and its motive.. Series: CONTRABAND POCKET CRIME COLLEC. Num Pages: 96 pages. BIC Classification: FA. .
