An Anthony Bathurst Mystery

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Within the next six months from to-day, I shall have removed from your midst one of the most prominent citizens of your most atrocious town. I have not yet made up my mind which one I shall honour in this way, or the exact day upon which the removal will take place.

A random serial killer? Hardly-the police discover that the first two victims are related. But they have two major problems-they don't know the murderer, or who else might be on the list. And it's going to turn into quite a long list before the murderer is revealed, and diabolical motivations exposed.

Antony Lotherington Bathurst is quickly on the case, on this occasion assisted by Dr. Michael Bannerman, a local resident.

The Edge of Terror was first published in 1932. This new edition features an introduction by Steve Barge.

Autorenporträt

Brian Flynn was born in 1885 in Leyton, Essex. He won a scholarship to the City Of London School, and from there went into the civil service. In World War I he served as Special Constable on the Home Front, also teaching "Accountancy, Languages, Maths and Elocution to men, women, boys and girls" in the evenings, and acting in his spare time. It was a seaside family holiday that inspired Brian Flynn to turn his hand to writing in the mid-twenties. Finding most mystery novels of the time "mediocre in the extreme", he decided to compose his own. Edith, the author's wife, encouraged its completion, and after a protracted period finding a publisher, it was eventually released in 1927 by John Hamilton in the UK and Macrae Smith in the U.S. as The Billiard-Room Mystery. The author died in 1958. In all, he wrote and published 57 mysteries, the vast majority featuring the super-sleuth Anthony Bathurst.
