Synopsis
The latest in the series of classic crime novels from the vaults of HarperCollins for the detective connoisseur is the only novel by the Welsh writer R.A.V. Morris.
The chance discovery of a young man’s body floating in a Sussex stream provides the first clue to the mysterious disappearance of Sir James Lyttleton, who sent his daughter a curt wire announcing his departure for America before completely vanishing. But this is no ordinary missing persons inquiry – when Sir James’s body turns up inside another man’s coffin, journalist James Dawson and Chief Inspector Candlish of Scotland Yard find themselves on the trail of a particularly ruthless and ingenious murderer.
This Detective Story Club classic is introduced by author and editor Douglas A. Anderson, whose authoritative books on Kenneth Morris led to the discovery of R.A.V. Morris’s true identity.

About the Author
Ronald Arthur Vennor Morris was born on 19 September 1877, the older brother of fantasy writer Kenneth Morris (1879–1937). Ronald contributed occasional articles and poems to theosophical publications, but The Lyttleton Case is apparently his only work of fiction. R.A.V. Morris died of prostate cancer, at the age of 66, at a nursing home in Brighton, on 30 November 1943.
