A special release of the very first crime novel by John Rhode,
introducing Dr Priestley, the genius detective who would go on to
appear in more than 70 bestselling crime novels during the Golden
Age. When Harold Merefield returned home in the early hours of a
winter morning from a festive little party at that popular
nightclub, the 'Naxos', he was startled by a gruesome discovery. On
his bed was a corpse. There was nothing to show the identity of the
dead man or the cause of his death. At the inquest, the jury found
a verdict of 'Death from Natural Causes' - perhaps they were right,
but yet . . . ? Harold determined to investigate the matter for
himself and sought the help of Professor Priestley, who, by the
simple but unusual method of logical reasoning, succeeded in
throwing light upon what proved to be a very curious affair indeed.
This Detective Club classic is introduced by crime writing
historian and expert Tony Medawar, who looks at how John Rhode, who
also wrote as Miles Burton and as Cecil Waye, became one of the
best-selling and most popular British authors of the Golden Age.
