Reader's note

A lovely vintage edition of the classic The Franchise Affair by Josephine Tey.The Franchise Affair is a strange tale indeed,one more instance of the habit truth possesses of outstripping fiction For Robert Blair, middle-aged senior partner of that very respectable firm of country lawyer, Blair,Hayward and Bennet,life has been a humdrum affair until the spring morning when Marion Sharpe telephoned to him in her hour of need. She and her mother, who lived in the house called The Franchise, were the victims,so Marion rold Robert of an amazing accusation. The police were in the house already. Not only Inspector Hallam of the local force, bua man from ‘The Yard’ itself, till then as exotically remote from Robert Blair’s scheme of things as Hollywood or Xanadu, If it was with reluctance as first that he condensed to be involved in anything so dubious as ‘the Franchise affair’, before long he became the devoted partisan of a cause which to all eyes but this own seemed lost. A gem among a bounty of out of print, rare and stunning vintage books in our second hand bookstore.
