Can Dr Priestley and Chief Inspector Hanslet solve this apparent murder?About the AuthorJohn Rhode was the pseudonym for the author Cecil Street, one of the best-selling and most popular British authors of the Golden Age of Crime. His most famous literary creation was Dr Lancelot Priestley, a forensic detective who featured in seventy-two novels written over forty years, solving many ingenious and misleading murders. Cecil Street was born in 1884 in Gibraltar to a military family. At sixteen he attended the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich. He served with distinction in the First World War and then in military intelligence before taking up writing full-time. He was a founding member of the Detection Club, the illustrious dining club of detective story writers, and created the famous 8216Eric the Skull8217 used in the rituals of the organisation. He would write over 140 detective novels (writing also as Miles Burton and Cecil Waye) and died aged 80, in 1964.Praise for John Rhode8216A Dr Priestley story is always an event for armchair sleuths8217 New York Times8216Scientific investigator, Dr Priestley, is one of the most satisfactory successors to Sherlock Holmes8217 New York Times8216Dr Priestley, a scientist with a flair for criminal investigation8217 New York Times8216Standing in the front rank of those who write detective fiction8217 Times Literary Supplement8216Any murder planned by John Rhode is bound to be ingenious8217 The Observer8216One always embarks on a John Rhode book with a great feeling of security.
