The Killer in the Crowd. A Shilling for Candles

The Killer in the Crowd. A Shilling for Candles

Josephine Tey (real name – Elizabeth Mackintosh; 1896–1952) – a famous writer, the daughter of a Scotsman and an Englishwoman, a recognized master of British detective fiction. In 1929, she made her debut with the book «The Man in the... Queue», which introduced Inspector Alan Grant of Scotland Yard (who later became the hero of five more of her novels). The inspector trusts his own intuition, but not blindly: he carefully weighs all the evidence, listens attentively to witness statements; and even if everything seems to speak against the suspect, Alan Grant will leave no piece of evidence unchecked. In short, in a difficult situation, anyone would dream of such a diligent police inspector! The collection includes the first two novels of the cycle: «The Killer in the Crowd, or The Man in the Queue» (1929) and «A Shilling for Candles» (1936).
