The Shrieking Pit (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

In a 1916 seaside hotel, a mysterious young man’s unsettling breakfast scene pulls a wary observer into a web of secrets. A sharp mind watches, and a quiet room becomes the stage for a dangerous mystery that blends ordinary life with the abnormal.

As the story unfolds, medical theory and legal doubt collide. The plot moves between a tense hotel drama and a courtroom battle over truth, memory, and what a person can or cannot know when a crime has occurred. The tension comes from both the clues and the people who defend or challenge them, all set against a vivid wartime coast.

• Atmospheric scenes at a grand hotel along the North Sea, with war-era unease lingering in the air.


• A meticulous investigation that weighs medical explanations against criminal plausibility.


• Carefully drawn characters whose motives and loyalties complicate the search for truth.


• A courtroom sequence that tests what evidence can prove about a difficult case.

Ideal for readers who enjoy classic British mysteries with a focus on deduction, psychology, and a sharply drawn wartime setting.
