Sinopsis

&ldquo,There&rsquo,s no dirty trick he wouldn&rsquo,t play&mdash,it&rsquo,s my belief that he wouldn&rsquo,t even stop at murder!&rdquo, Her husband unmasked as a scoundrel, Lady Cynthia Letchingham seeks refuge at her cousin Hannah&rsquo,s north-country home Greylands. But on Cynthia&rsquo,s arrival, she finds Hannah an invalid, having recently suffered a mysterious paralysis, the house is devoid of servants, and Hannah&rsquo,s husband, charming and sinister by turns, keeps watch over everything and everyone. Only the presence of charming Sybil Hammond and a darkly handsome neighbour relieve the atmosphere for Cynthia &ndash, but then a dark red stain appears mysteriously on the sleeve of her coat&hellip, What has really happened to Hannah, and the other entangled mysteries along the way, make The Secret of Greylands (1924) an absorbing golden age crime novel matching Wilkie Collins&rsquo, high Victorian gothic to the agility of early jazz age fiction. This new edition, the first in over eighty years, features an introduction by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans. &ldquo,Not only a crime story of merit, but also a novel which will interest readers to whom mystery for its own sake has little appeal.&rdquo, Nation &ldquo,Full of thrills and unexpected developments.&rdquo, Star &ldquo,A most skilfully written detective story and the mystery is carried through quite brilliantly.&rdquo, Clarion &ldquo,A capital story&mdash,highly ingenious.&rdquo, Truth
