Synopsis

A Chief Inspector Pointer Mystery!

It began simply enough, a group of strangers on holiday meeting at a winter resort in the Italian Tirol. Within a matter of hours, though, after their return to England, one of their number would be dead, another missing, and the rest under suspicion of murder and other crimes. Was the death of the young woman found shot in the flat of the missing man merely a case of a holiday romance gone wrong? Or had the woman, whose life had seemed as mysterious as her death, been involved in some international criminal scheme involving counterfeit Bank of England notes? These are the questions that Chief Inspector Pointer must answer to resolve the mystery of The Paper Chase.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

The identity of the author is as much a mystery as the plots of the novels. Two dozen novels were published from 1924 to 1944 as by Archibald Fielding, A. E. Fielding, or Archibald E. Fielding, yet the only clue as to the real author is a comment by the American publishers, H.C. Kinsey Co. that A. E. Fielding was in reality a "middle-aged English woman by the name of Dorothy Feilding whose peacetime address is Sheffield Terrace, Kensington, London, and who enjoys gardening." Research on the part of John Herrington has uncovered a person by that name living at 2 Sheffield Terrace from 1932-1936. She appears to have moved to Islington in 1937 after which she disappears. To complicate things, some have attributed the authorship to Lady Dorothy Mary Evelyn Moore nee Feilding (1889-1935), however, a grandson of Lady Dorothy denied any family knowledge of such authorship. The archivist at Collins, the British publisher, reports that any records of A. Fielding were presumably lost during WWII. Birthdates have been given variously as 1884, 1889, and 1900. Unless new information comes to light, it would appear that the real authorship must remain a mystery.
