Death at Swaythling Court by J J Connington
Hubbard made his money in blackmail, most detestable blackmail at that. A loathsome creature, there were no special regrets when he was found dead at his desk in his own home. Yet Colonel Sanderstead felt it his duty to probe the affair, since his nephew's best friend had very good reason to wish Hubbard dead and might easily enough be involved. A ghost appears in the village, motor car tracks confuse the issue, and altogether the evidence is so varied and contrary that it is not surprising the Colonel makes a few mistakes. His investigation, as it turns out, would never have solved the case, but it leads to an amazing conclusion which clears up the mystery of the Death at Swaythling Court. J. J. Connington's Death at Swaythling Court was published in 1926. The Coachwhip edition includes an introduction by Curtis Evans.
Retired academician Alfred Walter Stewart (1880-1947) turned his hand to writing detective stories under the pen name of J. J. Connington. His previous accomplishments include a number of books on chemistry as well as a considerable amount of original research.
