'My friend Ellingham has persuaded me to reveal to the public the
astounding features of the Reisby case. As a study in criminal
aberration it is, he tells me, of particular interest, while in
singularity of horror and in perversity of ingenious method it is
probably unique.' 1913. John Farringdale, with his cousin Eric
Foster, visits the famous archaeologist Tolgen Reisby. At
Scarweather - Reisby's lonely house on the windswept northern coast
of England - Eric is quickly attracted to Reisby's much younger
wife, and matters soon take a dangerous turn. Fifteen years later,
the final scene of the drama is enacted. This unorthodox novel from
1934 is by a gifted crime writer who, wrote Dorothy L. Sayers,
'handles his characters like a "real" novelist and the English
language like a "real" writer - merits which are still, unhappily,
rarer than they should be in the ranks of the murder specialists.'
