| Book Description | From the Collins Crime Club archive, the first Inspector French novel by Freeman Wills Crofts, once dubbed `The King of Detective Story Writers'. THE FIRST INSPECTOR FRENCH MYSTERY At the offices of the Hatton Garden diamond merchant Duke and Peabody, the body of old Mr Gething is discovered beside a now-empty safe. With multiple suspects, the robbery and murder is clearly the work of a master criminal, and requires a master detective to solve it. Meticulous as ever, Inspector Joseph French of Scotland Yard embarks on an investigation that takes him from the streets of London to Holland, France and Spain, and finally to a ship bound for South America |
| Editorial Review | `Because he is so austerely realistic, Freeman Wills Croft is deservedly a first favourite with all who want a real puzzle.' TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT "If there is a better writer of detective stories alive, I would like to know his name." GLASGOW CITIZEN |

Outselling Agatha Christie, and renowned for his ingenious plotting and meticulous attention to detail, Crofts followed up with The Ponson Case (1921) and no less than thirty books featuring the iconic Scotland Yard detective, Inspector French. |
