Despre această carte electronică
An American expat gets tangled in the case of an accused killer in this historical mystery set in Edwardian London.
Denton, the American Civil War veteran turned expat author, knows better than to go around doing people favors. But love will make chumps of us all, and for love of Janet Striker, Denton is making inquiries on behalf of the extremely tedious Mrs Snokes. Her husband, she declares, is innocent of the hideous charges made against him. The newspapers, however, think differently: They have dubbed him the “Barnsbury Butcher.”
Then, for the love of an old friend, Denton has taken on a chore for the man’s brattish son, entangled in a shameful liaison with a woman of beauty, spirit, and the ability to wreck his tidy little upper-class future. As Denton juggles these two increasingly precarious cases, he’ll hardly have time to write that new novella—though not for want of material.

Despre autor
Kenneth Cameron was born in 1931 in Rochester, NY. He is the author of seven novels featuring Denton, a compulsively romantic American with a dark past and a knack for solving other people's problems, though not necessarily his own. Cameron has written more than 30 books, some under the name George Bartram and some—with his son, Christian Cameron—under the name Gordon Kent. He lives most of the time in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State.
