Editorial Reviews

Far and away the best.

Dorothy Sayers

In the White House at Washington, in a special selection of the bookcases just outside the President’s study, there is a carefully winnowed selection of detective literature deposited there by the Library of Congress and labeled The President’s Shelf. On that shelf the rarest brews, in my opinion, are the work of Mr. Roughead.
