The Body in the Road

Autor Moray Dalton
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 mar 2019
It had been so quickly done that he felt almost as if a little knife had actually flashed by him and stuck, quivering, in the door at his back. Violet Hunter disappears at dusk one evening on a lonely road not far from a mysterious sanatorium. Her body is found buried in her friend's garden. Has Linda strangled her in a fit of jealousy? Or has the sanatorium's sinister foreign doctor drawn her into his macabre experiments? The police seize the few clues and Linda Merle is accused of murder. Bit by bit they build up the circumstantial evidence while the ingenious private detective Hermann Glide works in the background. By methods of intuition and a daring lack of scruple, Glide solves the mystery of the crime-a crime of passion and tragically warped mentality. The Body in the Road was originally published in 1931. This new edition features an introduction by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans.

Notă biografică

Katherine Dalton Renoir ('Moray Dalton') was born in Hammersmith, London in 1881, the only child of a Canadian father and English mother. The author wrote two well-received early novels, Olive in Italy (1909), and The Sword of Love (1920). However, her career in crime fiction did not begin until 1924, after which Moray Dalton published twenty-nine mysteries, the last in 1951. The majority of these feature her recurring sleuths, Scotland Yard inspector Hugh Collier and private inquiry agent Hermann Glide. Moray Dalton married Louis Jean Renoir in 1921, and the couple had a son a year later. The author lived on the south coast of England for the majority of her life following the marriage. She died in Worthing, West Sussex, in 1963.
