The Seven Secrets

Autor William Le Queux
en Limba Engleză Paperback
A true "whodunit" with as many twists and turns as an English country road. Old man Courtenay is found murdered in his bed. Dr. Ralph Boyd is summoned to Courtenay Manor to examine the slain man and discovers a clue that might solve the case. But, he decides to keep the clue private for personal reasons. In the meantime, Scotland Yard has no clues as the culprits or the motive. Dr. Boyd, because of his new found clue, is sure he knows who is the murderer. Or, is it a murderess? His intimate acquaintance, Ambler Jevons, is also investigating the crime but Dr. Boyd does not share his discoveries with him. Sure of his findings, a bizarre midnight encounter turns all Boyd's judgments upside down and the case becomes more peculiar than when it started. What are the seven secrets needed to decode this murder, or is it a conspiracy? One needs to listen to the end to discover the truth. A mystery set in fin de siecle London. An elderly man is murdered and suspicion falls on his young widow. But then things get very complicated and lies and clues abound..."

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
It was murder!
Despite wealthy old Henry Courtenay's steadily declining health, his death comes as a shock to those around him. It was murder, Courtenay's his manservant declares, and asks Dr Ralph Boyd to find the culprit. Only someone who lives in the Courtenay's London home could have gone into his room unnoticed. Could the murderer be one of the servants? Or perhaps Courtenay's young wife – or her beautiful sister, with whom Boyd has fallen in love? Boyd is beginning to realize that in the Courtenay household, secrets lurk at every turn, and nothing can be taken at face value.
"As a recounter of stories of mingled mystery and adventure, William Le Queux is certainly among the best living writers." – The Athenæum

Notă biografică

Anglo-French journalist and author William Tufnell Le Queux was born on July 2, 1864, and died on October 13, 1927. He was also a diplomat (honorary consul for San Marino), a traveler (in Europe, the Balkans, and North Africa), a fan of flying (he presided over the first British air meeting at Doncaster in 1909), and a wireless pioneer who played music on his own station long before radio was widely available. However, he often exaggerated his own skills and accomplishments. The Great War in England in 1897 (1894), a fantasy about an invasion by France and Russia, and The Invasion of 1910 (1906), a fantasy about an invasion by Germany, are his best-known works. Le Queux was born in the city. The man who raised him was English, and his father was French. He went to school in Europe and learned art in Paris from Ignazio (or Ignace) Spiridon. As a young man, he walked across Europe and then made a living by writing for French newspapers. He moved back to London in the late 1880s and managed the magazines Gossip and Piccadilly. In 1891, he became a parliamentary reporter for The Globe. He stopped working as a reporter in 1893 to focus on writing and traveling.
