HENRIETTA WHO?: An Inspector Sloan Mystery (Rue Morgue Classic British Mysteries)
|
|
|
Boulder, CO, U.S.A.: Rue Morgue Press, 2008. 1st prtg. A fine, unread copy of the Trade Paperback. When her mother is killed, a young college student's identity is called into question. When middle-aged Grace Jenkins is struck down and killed by a motorcar on a country road outside the quiet village of Larking, it turns out that nobody really knew who she was. And young Henrietta Jenkins' identity is also thrown into question when she learns that the woman who raised her as her own could not have been her mother. Then it is discovered that Grace Jenkins' death was no accident. It's the kind of knotty problem that is right up Inspector C.D. Sloan's alley, and while he and his men crisscross Calleshire County to solve it, Henrietta is comforted by young Bill Thorpe, who doesn't care one bit who she really is. "Aird ... gives readers a fine taste of life in the English countryside," wrote the Chicago Sun- Times of this book, originally published in 1968 and the second to feature polite, presistent Inspector Sloan. .

DEED WITHOUT A NAME
|
|
|
Lyons, Colorado, U.S.A.: Rue Morgue Press, 2005. 1st prtg. A fine, unread copy of this trade paperback (orig pub in 1940). The victim knew the identity of his potential murderer but the clues he left behind were too obscure even for Inspector Dan Pardoe of Scotland Yard. Three times young Archy Mitfold escaped murderous attacks. Knowing the identity of his would-be killer and anticipating further attempts, he contrived to leave behind clues that would lead Scotland Yard to his killer's doorstep. Of course Archy thought himself clever enough to avoid actually being murdered and assumed these clues-mostly bird sketches-would never actually be needed. Archy was wrong. Unfortunately for Inspector Dan Pardoe and Sergeant Tommy Salt, Archy's clues were so obscure that they defied intepretation. World War II was only weeks old and it looked like Archy's brief flirtation with the pro-Nazi Nordic Bond might be behind his murder. Anti-German feelings were at their height during this "phony war" period as Londoners blacked out their windows to German bombers that were months away from attacking. On the other hand, Archy's death also seemed somehow connected to the disappearnce of a camera-shy British philantrophist. It will take all of Pardoe's celebrated ingenuity to nab the killer..
