À propos de ce contenu audio
The Middle Temple Murder (1919) is a thirty-six-chapter classic detective novel by the British crime writer J. S. Fletcher. One June night in London, Frank Spargo — a young reporter on the Watchman — is drawn into the murder of an elderly stranger found dead at the foot of a staircase in Middle Temple Lane, his identity a mystery until a remarkable coincidence in a police court reveals him as John Marbury, a retired bank manager who had lived quietly in the Temple under the name of Maitland. The trail leads Spargo and his friends — the barrister Breton, Inspector Rathbury of Scotland Yard, and the mysterious elderly Gutch — through the offices of the Safe Deposit Company and the chambers of Mr. Stephen Aylmore, M.P., whose past conceals the secret that drives the crime: the vanished Cecil Aylmore, the "Yellow Dragon" and the "King of Madagascar" episodes of a younger, darker life, and the man who has been living for years under a dead man's name. As the Watchman's thousand-pound reward brings the truth nearer, a tombstone inscription in a Surrey churchyard and a final telegram from Rathbury close the case in a twist that turns the hunted man into the hunter and leaves Spargo to unmask the true criminal behind the sham of the respectable solicitor Myerst. Fletcher, one of the most prolific writers of the Edwardian and Georgian crime novel, builds the book on the solid machinery of newspapers, inquests, safe deposits and identity — the world in which Spargo the reporter is perfectly at home.
