Sinopsis

'It was my own fault, of course.áI realized that when it was too late.'Crime writer Iain Carter has recently married and is struggling to make a decent living as an author.áHis brother-in-law is a likable but slightly indiscreet constable, and Iain decides to use this inside knowledge to write a satirical series featuring a pompous dictatorial police superintendent.áTo protect his identity, Iain creates an elaborately designed pseudonym, John Ky Lowell, that canâÇÖt be traced back to him.áWhen the first book by Lowell,áThe Undetective, proves to be a huge success, Iain finds he must take increasingly convoluted steps to protect his secret from the press, the policeáandáthe taxman.ááBut the real trouble begins when a local bookmaker is killed, and Iain finds his mysterious alter-ego is the prime suspect.Bruce Graeme (1900-1982) was a pseudonym of Graham Montague Jeffries, an author of 100 crime novels and a founding member of The Crime Writers Association.áHe created a number of Golden Age detectives, including bookseller and accidental detective Theodore Terhune, whose first adventure, Seven Clues in Search of a Crime, has been republished by Moonstone Press in 2021.
