Biografía del autor:
"And in a copse close by to where the body of the murdered man was found had been discovered a thick bludgeon of a stick, broken it would seem by some violent act, into two halves. On the top half was rudely cut with a pen-knife 'M. ASSHE' . . . What was puzzling, however, was the apparent motive of robbery about the crime..."
The setting is well-to-do Brighton and the book opens with a careful description of Mrs Assheton’s home in Sussex Square, where ‘everything moved with the regularity of the solar system’. But dark passions stir behind the facade of respectability. When murder is done, a suspect is arrested, and master storyteller Benson offers a trial scene with a dramatic and riveting twist.
EDWARD FREDERIC BENSON (1867-1940) was born in Berkshire, England, and educated at Cambridge. He worked in Athens for the British School of Archaeology and later in Egypt for the Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies. Benson wrote fiction, reminiscences, and biographies, but is best remembered for his arch satirical novels and his urbane autobiographical studies of Edwardian and Georgian society.
