The Middle Temple Murder

Greenhill crime classic 1987 edition of a 1919 mystery. Joseph Smith Fletcher wrote more than 100 books. The Middle-Temple Murder was his best seller. When read and applauded by President Woodrow Wilson, it brought him international recognition. "At the height of his fame, Fletcher was one of the most popular detective novelists on both sides of the Atlantic." From the cover: "The body was found in the Middle Temple, an area of small apartments for lawyers adjacent to London's Fleet Street. It was from the office of his newspaper that Frank Spargo had strolled homeward early one morning, in that summer of 1912. Passing Middle Temple Lane, he became one of the first to see the corpse and fell headlong into the search for the murderer.

History

BiblioLife

Excerpt from Pontefract With the exception of York, no town in Yorkshire is more closely connected with English history than Pontefract, which is as Dean Swift said of it, in all our histories. Yet, curiously enough, no history of town or castle has yet appeared, save from local printing presses. Boothroyd published one such volume in 1807; Fox, another, twenty years later. The one man who could have written a really great book about the place, Richard Holmes, certainly one of the most able archae ologists of his day, spent his energies in numerous publications, all valuable, but unconnected, and all serving to show the riches of the mine in which some future historian may yet delve to more purpose. Pontefract is worthy a great book; what follows in these pages can only be regarded as a mere outline of 'the story of one of the most remarkable of our most ancient boroughs.

Scarhaven Keep

Echo Library

Half way along the north side of the main street of Highmarket an ancient stone gateway, imposing enough to suggest that it was originally the entrance to some castellated mansion or manor house, gave access to a square yard, flanked about by equally ancient buildings. What those buildings had been used for in other days was not obvious to the casual and careless observer, but to the least observant their present use was obvious enough. Here were piles of timber from Norway; there were stacks of slate from Wales; here was marble from Aberdeen, and there cement from Portland: the old chambers of the grey buildings were filled to overflowing with all the things that go towards making a house-ironwork, zinc, lead, tiles, great coils of piping, stores of domestic appliances. And on a shining brass plate, set into the wall, just within the gateway, were deeply engraven the words: Mallalieu and Cotherstone, Builders and Contractors.
