Produktbeschreibung

The big clock outside struck 7.30. Early as it was, Inspector Stoddart was already in his room at Scotland Yard. He looked up impatiently as his most trusted subordinate, Alfred Harbord, entered after a sharp preliminary tap. "Yes, sir. You sent for me?" The inspector nodded. "You are detailed for special duty at once. We are starting in the runabout immediately, so if you want to send a message?" He nodded at the telephone. Harbord grinned.

Autorenporträt

Annie Haynes was born in 1865, the daughter of an ironmonger. By the first decade of the twentieth century she lived in London and moved in literary and early feminist circles. Her first crime novel, The Bungalow Mystery, appeared in 1923, and another nine mysteries were published before her untimely death in 1929. Who Killed Charmian Karslake? appeared posthumously, and a further partially-finished work, The Crystal Beads Murder, was completed with the assistance of an unknown fellow writer, and published in 1930.
