Description du livre
Step into the polished, cerebral world of Noel Pinson — the unassuming yet razor-sharp amateur detective created by British author R.A.J. Walling. This fully illustrated complete collection brings together all six of Pinson’s most absorbing cases, steeped in classic Golden Age atmosphere, intricate plotting, and quietly intense suspense.
From the mysterious clue at the heart of The Fatal Glove to the complex identity twists in The Fourth Man, each novel showcases Walling’s signature blend of psychological nuance and deductive clarity. In The Strong Room, a locked space conceals more than just a body — it guards secrets waiting to be unravelled by Pinson’s steady intellect.
Miss Immington’s Ring draws readers into a case of deception and vanished inheritance, while The Spook of Cornelius explores the eerie tension between superstition and truth in a seaside village haunted by rumor. The collection concludes with The Murder of Mrs. Rooth, a chilling study of motive, reputation, and the devastating reach of buried guilt.
Noel Pinson is no flamboyant showman; he’s a quiet observer, a man of logic, patience, and compassion — and it’s precisely these qualities that make his investigations so compelling.
For lovers of traditional British detective fiction and finely crafted mystery, The Complete Collection of Noel Pinson Mysteries is a rare gem — an invitation to puzzle over crime, character, and the hidden threads that bind them.
