Description

Mr Bowling Buys a Newspaper is a darkly satirical novel about a murderer who buys newspapers to see if anyone suspects him. The police are on the case, but the clues are being overlooked due to wartime chaos. This is a unique take on the serial killer genre, as the protagonist wants to be caught to end his torment. The book was written by Donald Henderson, an actor and playwright who had previously written novels under the name D. H. Landels. Despite being promoted by Raymond Chandler as his favourite detective novel, it has remained out of print for over 60 years. A new introduction by Martin Edwards sheds light on Henderson's life and writing career. This is a rare opportunity to read a forgotten detective novel, now re-released.
