‘A dead man in my car? But how can that be? Do you mean somebody-er-that was taken ill or something?’
‘No, sir. The dead man in your car was murdered.’
When Richard Langley entered the town of Angel, he encountered the unexpected. He never expected to meet Priscilla Schofield. He never expected to be asked to deliver her kitten Ahaseurus to Priscilla’s father. And he never expected to stumble into the wrong house and come face to face with a gang of criminals.
Soon, Langley finds himself looking over his shoulder for enemies in the shadows and then a body turns up in his car . . . But it is only when Langley himself disappears that Priscilla decides she needs to summon some help-help in the form of Anthony Lotherington Bathurst.
Conspiracy at Angel was first published in 1947. This new edition features an introduction by crime fiction historian Steve Barge.
Giới thiệu về tác giả
Brian Flynn was born in 1885 in Leyton, Essex. He won a scholarship to the City Of London School, and from there went into the civil service. In World War I he served as Special Constable on the Home Front, also teaching ‘Accountancy, Languages, Maths and Elocution to men, women, boys and girls’ in the evenings, and acting in his spare time.It was a seaside family holiday that inspired Brian Flynn to turn his hand to writing in the mid-twenties. Finding most mystery novels of the time ‘mediocre in the extreme’, he decided to compose his own. Edith, the author’s wife, encouraged its completion, and after a protracted period finding a publisher, it was eventually released in 1927 by John Hamilton in the UK and Macrae Smith in the U.S. as The Billiard-Room Mystery.The author died in 1958. In all, he wrote and published 57 mysteries, the vast majority featuring the super-sleuth Anthony Bathurst.
