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

William Le Queux (1864-1927) was an Anglo-French journalist, novelist, and radio broadcaster. Born in London to a French father and English mother, Le Queux studied art in Paris and embarked on a walking tour of Europe before finding work as a reporter for various French newspapers. Towards the end of the 1880s, he returned to London where he edited Gossip and Piccadilly before being hired as a reporter for The Globe in 1891. After several unhappy years, he left journalism to pursue his creative interests. Le Queux made a name for himself as a leading writer of popular fiction with such espionage thrillers as The Great War in England in 1897 (1894) and The Invasion of 1910 (1906). In addition to his writing, Le Queux was a notable pioneer of early aviation and radio communication, interests he maintained while publishing around 150 novels over his decades long career.
