Publisher's Synopsis
This classic British mystery book contains the eight detective adventures of Horne Fisher, the man who knew too much. This one puzzles out various murders and mysteries. Incidentally, these are never his main concern. To imagine that they are would indicate the most superficial reading of the novel. He is a man mired in the politics and intrigues of his family and the upper-crust of England. Each "crime" and mystery simply serves to illustrate Fisher's brilliance and the way he sees "behind" things because of his wealth of secret knowledge of what's "really" going on. A must-read for anyone fascinated by quality detective literature.
