Scotsman J. I. M. Stewart, renowned Oxford professor of literature, wrote many erudite academic books and papers; as well as these he also wrote many mystery novels under the pseudonym Michael Innes. His fictional character Inspector Appleby is one of the best-known in the genre. "From London Far" is not an Appleby novel, but it is, all the same, an excellent mystery, written in Innes's inimitable literary style. An Innes novel is always well-written, and frequently abounds in literary and artistic allusions. In "From London Far" readers will find themselves engrossed in fascinating skullduggery within the world of fine art collecting. Is murder involved as well as swindling? Maybe. Probably. Let's read it to find out! TITLE : From London Far AUTHOR : Michael Innes (Pseudonym of J. I. M.
