"I cannot understand why Mr. Bechcombe apparently offered no resistance. His hand-bell, his speaking-tube, the telephone—all were close at hand. It looks as though he had recognized his assassin and had no fear of him." The corner house of Crow's Inn Square was the most dignified set of solicitors' chambers imaginable. But this monument to law and order nonetheless becomes the scene of murder - when the distinguished lawyer Mr. Bechcombe, despite giving strict instructions not to be disturbed, is strangled in his own office. Inspector Furnival of Scotland Yard has to wrestle with fiendish clues, unearth priceless gems and tangle with a dangerous gang before he can solve this case, his third and final golden age mystery. Originally published in 1927, this new edition is the first printed in over 80 years, and features an introduction by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans. "What could be better to whet the appetite of the mystery-loving reader? A capital piece of work... exactly the sort of mystery story that everyone is asking for and will eagerly devour." Sketch

Autorenporträt
Annie Haynes (1865–1929) was a pioneer in the realm of detective fiction, shaping the genre with her unique blend of suspense and character insight during the early 20th century. Although she faced the challenge of making her mark in a field predominantly dominated by male writers, Haynes established herself as an important figure among her contemporaries, such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers. Her seminal work, 'The Crow's Inn Tragedy,' stands out as a hallmark of the classic English whodunit, offering readers a compelling narrative rich with twists and a keen sense of place. Haynes' literary style is characterized by meticulous plotting and the adept use of misdirection, a tradition that has heavily influenced detective fiction. Unfortunately, as is the case with many female authors of her time, she did not receive the full recognition she deserved during her lifetime, and it wasn't until recent years that her contributions to the genre have begun to be re-evaluated and appreciated. Her novels did not just entertain; they invited readers to hone their analytical skills and engage in the mystery right alongside her detectives.
