Book Description
Discover the captivating treasures buried in the British Library's archives. Largely inaccessible to the public until now, these enduring classics were written in the golden age of detective fiction. "...this crime is conditioned by the place. To understand the one you've got to study the other." The Garths had farmed their fertile acres for generations, and fine land it was with the towering hills of the Lake Country on the far horizon. Here hot-tempered Robert Garth, still hale and hearty at eighty-two, ruled Garthmere Hall with a rod of iron. Until, that is, old Garth was found dead—'dead as mutton'—in the trampled mud of the ancient outhouse. Glowering clouds gather over the dramatic dales and fells as seasoned investigator Chief Inspector Macdonald arrives in the north country. Awaiting him are the reticent Garths and their guarded neighbors of the Lune Valley; and a battle of wits to unearth their murderous secrets. E.C.R Lorac was a prolific writer who penned over forty bestselling mystery books over the course of her career. First published in 1944, Fell Murder is a tightly-paced mystery with authentic depictions of its breathtaking locales and Second World War setting. Rife with detail and suspenseful historical crime, this novel earns its place among the classic British mysteries. This edition also includes the rare E.C.R. Lorac short story 'The Live Wire'.

Book Description
Lancashire's mayor Richard Delaney is shot to death while watching a musical production starring his wife Sophia. Local police detective Joseph Fletcher and his girlfriend Samantha Degan are sitting close to the victim at the time of the crime. Unfortunately, the killer escapes and although the list of suspects is long, the alibis are seemingly air-tight. Samantha offers to help Fletch investigate. Soon, the couple are almost empathizing with the killer. The deceased mayor, it seems, was a true scumbag, cheating on his wife with a bevy of young beauties. The deceased mayor also had aspirations of grandeur and didn't mind who he stepped on to get there. But, Fletch and Samantha are determined to follow the clues and track down the elusive killer--and maybe, Fletch might even get Samantha to accept his marriage proposal.
