Death Leaves the Station by Alexander Thorpe

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are still excellent.

Death Leaves the Station brings the cosy country house intrigue of crime fiction's golden age to the Australian Wheatbelt. Set in 1927, the story takes all the classic elements of an interwar murder mystery and gives it a distinctive Australian flavour.

A nameless friar turns up at Halfwell Station at the same time that Ana, the adopted daughter of the station owners, discovers a body in the desert nearby when she goes for a midnight walk. But when she returns to look for it, the body is gone.

Death Leaves the Station was written for fans of classic mystery and crime fiction. (publisher blurb)
