Synopsis
Ted Lyte, amateur thief, has chosen an isolated house by the coast for his first robbery. But Haven House is no ordinary country home. While hunting for silverware to steal, Ted stumbles upon a locked room containing seven dead bodies. Detective Inspector Kendall takes on the case with the help of passing yachtsman Thomas Hazeldean. The search for the house's absent owners brings Hazeldean across the Channel to Boulogne, where he finds more than one motive to stay and investigate. Seven Dead is an atmospheric crime novel first published in 1939.

Review
"This is a satisfyingly strange locked-room (and nailed-shutters) thriller by golden-age-of-crime-fiction master Farjeon, about whom Dorothy L. Sayers wrote: 'Jefferson Farjeon is quite unsurpassed for creepy skill in mysterious adventures.'...This 1939 puzzler is a worthy addition to the British Library Crime Classics series."--Connie Fletcher "Booklist "
About the Author
J. Jefferson Farjeon (1883-1955) was the author of more than sixty crime and thriller novels. His work was highly acclaimed in his day; Dorothy L. Sayers wrote that 'Jefferson Farjeon is quite unsurpassed for creepy skill in mysterious adventures'. Farjeon is now best known as the author of Number Seventeen, a play that was adapted for the big screen by Alfred Hitchcock. His Christmas crime novel, Mystery in White, was republished by the British Library in 2014, with Thirteen Guests and The Z Murders following in 2015.
