Trade Review

‘Inspector French is as near the real thing as any sleuth in fiction.’ SUNDAY TIMES

“A detective novel by Mr. Wills Crofts is always an event to those who know … Mr. Crofts is among the few muscular writers of detective fiction. He has never let me down.”
HAROLD NICOLSON, DAILY EXPRESS
