Fear and Trembling by Brian Flynn

Fear and Trembling by Brian Flynn

As long as there is no more stupid talk of murder, or threats of any kind, you will find me ready and willing to be reasonable.

David Somerset, an industrial chemist, meets a mysterious syndicate in a Gloucestershire village. What exactly does David Somerset have to sell?

Somerset fails to return to London and his son Geoffrey disappears on the same day. The pair of them are soon found dead. With a killer's sights now set on the other son, Gerald, it falls to Anthony Bathurst to track down the mysterious syndicate and unmask a cunning murderer. But he's a little distracted by a femme fatale . . .

Inspector MacMorran is aware of this, and takes some pleasure when Bathurst is briefly baffled-and in love. Along the way there are chills, red herrings, highly original twists, and an amazing revelation at the end.

Fear and Trembling was first published in 1936. This new edition features an introduction by Steve Barge.

Flynn, Brian: - Brian Flynn was born in 1885 in Leyton, Essex. He won a scholarship to the City Of London School, and from there went into the civil service. In World War I he served as Special Constable on the Home Front, also teaching Accountancy, Languages, Maths and Elocution to men, women, boys and girls in the evenings, and acting in his spare time. It was a seaside family holiday that inspired Brian Flynn to turn his hand to writing in the mid-twenties. Finding most mystery novels of the time mediocre in the extreme, he decided to compose his own. Edith, the author's wife, encouraged its completion, and after a protracted period finding a publisher, it was eventually released in 1927 by John Hamilton in the UK and Macrae Smith in the U.S. as The Billiard-Room Mystery. The author died in 1958. In all, he wrote and published 54 mysteries, the vast majority featuring the super-sleuth Anthony Bathurst.
