by Anthony Berkeley (Author)
When a murder exposes a web of secrets surrounding the influential Vane family, suspicion falls quickly-but certainty proves elusive. Conflicting testimonies, hidden relationships, and carefully constructed alibis frustrate official investigators and cloud the truth.
Roger Sheringham-novelist, critic, and relentless amateur detective-approaches the case with his characteristic skepticism and analytical precision. Rather than accept surface explanations, Sheringham probes motives, tests assumptions, and challenges prevailing theories as he works toward a solution that is anything but obvious.
Anthony Berkeley crafts a tightly reasoned mystery that emphasizes logic, psychology, and intellectual rigor over brute action. Roger Sheringham and the Vane Mystery, the third novel in the Roger Sheringham Mysteries, exemplifies the sophistication and narrative innovation that made Berkeley a defining voice of Golden Age British detective fiction.
This Impact Books edition presents the novel in a modern, reader-friendly format, ideal for contemporary mystery readers and classic crime enthusiasts alike.
