Publisher's Synopsis
Joseph Smith Fletcher was a British journalist and author. He wrote more than 230 books on a wide variety of subjects, both fiction and non-fiction. He was one of the leading writers of detective fiction in the "Golden Age." There may be folk in the world to whom the finding of a dead man, lying grim and stark by the roadside, with the blood freshly run from it and making ugly patches of crimson on the grass. The dead man lying in the crushed grass-his arms thrown out helplessly on either side of him. Hugh Moneylaws remember all about that scene and that moment as freshly now as if the affair had happened last night. He runs and errand for his mother's lodger and stumbles upon murder. Dead Men's Money is set in Berwick-upon-Tweed, on the English side of the border with Scotland.
