The Strong Room: A Golden Age Mystery

Golden Age of Crime writer R.A.J. Walling’s first-ever crime novel, republished here for the first time in almost a century.

Noel Pinson, barrister and sometime amateur sleuth, savored his carefully made cup of tea in his digs near the Temple, London’s legal district. Waiting for him in the morning’s post was an important envelope. The letter inside outlined the curious disappearance of English country solicitor, Westmore Colebroke. Colebroke had vanished three-months ago, the morning after he had arranged with his financier a large withdrawal of funds. Aided by retired detective superintendent Joe Grainger, Pinson works to solve this puzzling case traveling from London to Devon, Paris and Morlaix in Brittany.
