Synopsis "Surfeit of Suspects (British Library Crime Classics) (in English)"
Discover the captivating treasures buried in the British Library's archives. Largely inaccessible to the public until now, these enduring classics were written in the golden age of detective fiction.At 8 o'clock in the evening on the 8th of November, there was a terrific explosion in Green Lane, Evingden.The offices of the Excelsior Joinery Company have been blown to smithereens; three of the company directors are found dead amongst the rubble, and the peace of a quiet town in Surrey lies in ruins. When the supposed cause of an ignited gas leak is dismissed and the presence of dynamite revealed, Superintendent Littlejohn of Scotland Yard is summoned to the scene.But beneath the sleepy veneer of Evingden lies a hotbed of deep-rooted grievances. The new subject of the town's talk, Littlejohn's investigation is soon confounded by an impressive cast of suspicious persons, each concealing their own axe to grind.First published in 1964, Bellairs' novel hearkens back to the classic British mysteries and crime books. A masterpiece of misdirection, Surfeit of Suspects is a story of small-town grudges with calamitous consequences that revels in the abundant possible solutions to its central, explosive crime.Other books in the British Library Crime Classics: Death in Fancy DressSmallbone DeceasedIt Walks by NightMeasure of MaliceThe Body in the Dumb RiverDeath Has Deep RootsThe Notting Hill Mystery
