British Library Crime Classics Series 8 : 6 Books Collection (Foreign Bodies, Portrait of a Murderer: A Christmas Crime Story, Somebody at the Door, Seven Dead, Death Makes a Prophet, Serpents in Eden: Countryside Crimes)
John Bude Martin Edwards, Anne Meredith, Raymond Postgate, J. Jefferson Farjeon
'Small hostilities were growing; vague jealousies were gaining strength; and far off, wasn't there a nebulous hint of approaching tragedy in the air?' Welworth Garden City in the 1940s is a forward-thinking town where free spirits find a home - vegetarians, socialists, and an array of exotic religious groups. Chief among these are the Children of Osiris, led by the eccentric High Prophet, Eustace K. Mildmann., The cult is a seething hotbed of petty resentment, jealousy and dark secrets - which eventually lead to murder. The stage is set for one of Inspector Meredith's most bizarre and exacting cases. This witty crime novel by a writer on top form is a neglected classic of British crime fiction.
