A classic crime novel by Freeman Wills Crofts, ' The King of Detective Story Writers' , featuring Inspector French, coming soon to television. Moneylender Albert Reeve has added blackmail to his activities. When his cottage burns down and he perishes within the flames, his death comes as a shock to one of his victims and Tony Meadows finds himself accused of murder. Luckily for him, his sister remembers Inspector French and asks him to help. French fears a miscarriage of justice and agrees to commence one of his most challenging investigations.
"A detective novel by Mr. Wills Crofts is always an event to those who know . . . Mr. Crofts is among the few muscular writers of detective fiction. He has never let me down. " HAROLD NICHOLSON, DAILY EXPRESS
Once dubbed ' The King of Detective Story Writers' , Freeman Wills Crofts was an Irish railway engineer whose brilliant first mystery novel, The Cask, was motivated by an extended illness in 1919. Outselling Agatha Christie, and renowned for his ingenious plotting and meticulous attention to detail, Crofts followed up with The Ponson Case (1921) and no less than thirty books featuring the iconic Scotland Yard detective, Inspector French.
