Produktbeschreibung

Pacy, evocative Golden Age whodunnit in the style of Agatha Christie, this opening novel in the Selby Bigge mysteries series features a gay amateur sleuth who must solve a murder in a London mansion without ever revealing his sexuality, in case he is arrested as a criminal himself. Perfect for fans of Nicola Upson?s Josephine Tey novels. Set in London 1929, A Queer Case follows the exploits of Selby Bigge, a gay man who finds himself embroiled in a murder. Selby is a bank clerk by day and a denizen of London?s homosexual underworld by night. He yearns for a more glamorous life and is delighted to receive an invitation to the birthday of the rich banker Sir Lionel Duker. At the party Sir Lionel?s wife is murdered and it doesn?t take long for Selby to realise everyone has a motive ? himself included. His love of other men makes him a criminal and Lady Duker had worked this out moments before she was strangled, so Selby must keep his secrets close to his chest as he tries to solve the murder.
