Synopsis
Mystery crime fiction written in the Golden Age of Murder
'Cleverly told ... brilliant character work and plotting up to the usual Symons standard.' --Observer
'An intriguing puzzle centered on identity...' --Publishers Weekly
Lady Wainwright presides over the gothic gloom at Belting, in mourning for her two sons lost in the Second World War. Long afterwards a stranger arrives at Belting, claiming to be the missing David Wainwright--who was not killed after all, but held captive for years in a Russian prison camp. With Lady Wainwright's health fading, her inheritance is at stake, and the family is torn apart by doubts over its mysterious long-lost son. Belting is shadowed by suspicion and intrigue--and then the first body is found.
This atmospheric novel of family secrets, first published in 1964, is by a winner of the CWA Diamond Dagger.

Review
"Veteran puzzle hounds who guess the ending will still be moved by its power. The tale's valedictory tone, perfectly suited to a story set 10 years before Symons wrote it and hearkening back to social institutions from a still earlier age, is underlined by its reprinting 54 years later."--Kirkus Reviews
"Another addition to the British Library Crime Classics series restores a mystery, first published in 1964, by Julian Symons, an acclaimed mid-century writer who won two Edgar Awards and the Crime Writers Association (UK) Diamond Dagger. This mystery has a double focus - on a murder but also on a question of identity (with an inheritance at stake)...the double puzzle is riveting..."--Connie Fletcher "Booklist "
"An intriguing puzzle centered on identity drives this entry in the British Library Crime Classics series, first published in 1965, from MWA Grand Master Symons (1912-1994)...Symons throws in some clever twists..."--Publishers Weekly
