The Middle Temple Murder

A dead man is discovered in the shadowy passageways of London’s Middle Temple. He has no identification, no valuables and no obvious reason for being there—but the evidence suggests that he was murdered somewhere else and deliberately left to be found.

Newspaper reporter Frank Spargo senses the story of a lifetime. Following a trail that stretches from London’s legal chambers to secrets buried decades in the past, he uncovers false identities, missing fortunes and people who will do anything to keep the truth hidden.

As suspicion falls upon a prominent politician, Spargo must separate fact from deception before an innocent person is condemned—and a calculating killer escapes justice.

Atmospheric, ingenious and filled with unexpected revelations, The Middle Temple Murder is a classic British detective mystery by J. S. Fletcher.
