It wasn't easy to forget the frightened hostility in her face and the shrill hysteria of her voice when she'd closed and bolted the door.
Who were the intruders who left bloodstains and a sapphire brooch in Paul Farrell's flat? And, since nothing was taken, why should that flat be burgled at all? That problem was only the beginning. What, for instance, had become of Farrell's wife? And of the girl adopted by the vicar's sister? And why should that sister plant bulbs on a stranger's grave? And why should a Soho head-waiter, doing pretty well for himself, suddenly commit suicide?
These were only some of the problems confronting Ludovic Travers and his old friends, Matthews and Jewle of Scotland Yard. A tangle, indeed, of intrigue, blackmail and murder that seemed unsolvable: and yet, when finally resolved, makes the reader wonder why he had not found the answers long before. This is vintage Christopher Bush.
The Case of the Sapphire Brooch
was originally published in 1960. This new edition features an introduction by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans.
"Freshness both of plot and writing."
Anthony Berkeley
"Travers continues to be a wholly satisfying creation."
Alan Hunter
