This title is part of our3 for 2 offeron British Library Fiction.

The story opens one wet and windy night, with the discovery of a young womans corpse, lying face down on the cobblestones of a passageway in the Yorkshire town of Gunnarshaw. The deceased is Jane Trundle, an attractive girl who worked as an assistant in a chemists shop. She yearned for the good life, and Cluff finds more money in her handbag than she would have earned in wages. There are echoes of Sherlock Holmes (You know my methods, Watson) in the title, and in an exchange in the first chapter between Cluff and Superintendent Patterson, but Cluff is very much his own man. Little that goes on in and around the mean streets of Gunnarshaw escapes him.

He is scornful of detectives who rely solely on supposed facts: More than facts were in question here, the intangible, invisible passions of human beings. Understanding those passions leads him gradually towards the truth about Janes murder.

Part of the Crime Classics series.
