Leo Bruce

Broschiertes Buch

Jack on the Gallows Tree

Beschreibung

Ushers a new highly-regarded and prolific author into the series; a key player of the mid-century crime fiction scene. A comedic crime novel, played partly for laughs but with a strong central puzzle at its core. Something different for returning fans of the genre. Offers a novel by a writer from a minority perspective writing during a time in which homosexuality was a crime.

Autor

Leo Bruce was the pen name of Rupert Croft-Cooke, who wrote more than twenty highly-praised mysteries featuring Carlous Deene. He also wrote eight mysteries featuring Sgt. William Beef, a cockney police detective who invariably "knows who done it." Croft-Cooke died in 1980.
