On holiday in Keldstone visiting his nephew, Jim, blanket
manufacturer Athelstan Digby agrees to look after the old bookshop
on the ground floor of his lodgings while his hosts are away. On
the first day of his tenure, a vicar, a chauffeur and an
out-of-town stranger enquire after The Life and Death of Mr. Badman
by John Bunyan. When a copy mysteriously arrives at the shop in a
bundle of books brought in by a young scamp, and is subsequently
stolen, Digby moves to investigate the significance of the book
along with his nephew, and the two are soon embroiled in a case in
which the stakes have risen from antiquarian book-pinching to
ruthless murder. First published in a limited run in 1934, this
exceedingly rare and fast-paced bibliomystery set against the
landscapes of Yorkshire is long overdue its return to print.
