Description
An industrial and financial tycoon and former stalwart of the British Cabinet, has been shot in the head and left in the quiet Vale of Health. Nearby, a rejected portrait of him is found riddled with bullets in the studio of the now- missing romantic artist Matt Caldwell. This closely observed and stylish study of both character and motive transports the reader from the Stock Exchange to Scotland Yard. It asks the question of what it means to be crooked and how immense power corrupts. First published in 1934.
