Linford Mystery

In this story of greed and carefully planned murder, a dead man had been sitting in a chair for two days in a seaside bungalow that had been ravaged by a searcher. A mysterious woman had cooked a poisoned meal in the bungalow - but she could not be traced. A trip by a girl to an Italian seaside resort could have been an alibi - yet wasn't. A lonely man is closeted with his fears. A British passport is found floating in Amsterdam harbor and the owner has disappeared...

A Cosy Little Murder (LIN)

Death's Inheritance (LIN) (Linford Mystery Library)

Seven men and a woman were in the first-class coach of a train from London to Brighton. They had travelled together each evening for months. That night one of them, Alexis Mortensen, editor of a scurrilous newspaper, died from strychnine poisoning. Strychnine acts inside fifteen minutes, but Mortensen had had nothing which could have contained the poison for an hour before his death. An unbelievably grotesque story from the past was to be uncovered before the case was solved.

Death Of A Frightened Editor (LIN) (Linford Mystery Library)

Doctor Harry Manson, Scotland Yard's Forensic Scientist, was packed off by the Assistant Commissioner (Crime) to a rural country house to recover his health. When Manson opened a book in the library for the sake of a few moments' relaxed reading, it also opened his legendary suspicious mind and led him on to plot and counter-plot, forgery, blackmail - and murder.

Death Of An Ancient Saxon (LIN)

Scotland Yard found itself challenged by something it had never before experienced - a closely knit and anonymous gang of women, netting thousands of pounds. But so ingenious was their modus operandi that not even Doctor Manson could find anything that could be pinned as illegal in their operations - until victims of the women were (among others) three crooked men, with equal ingenuity in acquiring money. Unfortunately for both sides, murder crept in - four times...

From Information Received (LIN)

The Dilettantes Club was a gathering of five savants who dined once a fortnight in Soho, and debated any problem besetting mankind. One evening, into this distinguished company, there intruded a Professor of Logic and Philosophy, an odd little man. The Assistant Commissioner of Scotland Yard was one of the Dilettantes, and a baffling problem of criminal investigation was debated. The little Professor was able to point the finger at those who currently were eluding the police net. Until...

Death And The Professor (LIN)

The Middlefold Murders (LIN)

Why should a man pay six months' rent in advance for a garage and then never use it? Why should a young woman in a good job walk out of her flat at midnight, take all her clothes with her - and then completely vanish? How was it that thousands of pounds vanished from locked safes from three establishments without there being any signs of entry? It took investigations over thousands of miles before Doctor Manson and the Three Musketeers of Homicide found the answers.

Trunk Call To Murder (LIN)

"Jiminy! He's going to fish for him." A small Cornish fishing hotel, The Tremarden Arms, is renowned for its adjacent waters where guests fish for salmon and trout. The unpleasant Colonel Donoughmore is found drowned in a salmon pool in the hotel grounds. He was dressed for fishing and his rod was on the bank nearby. The local Police concluded it was an unfortunate accident but Doctor Manson finds two peculiar circumstances which convinced him that this was a skilfully contrived murder. There were fellow fishermen out on the river banks near to where the Colonel was found dead, two of whom had publicly uttered threats against him. Furthermore, several other hotel guests had strong financial motives for removing him. Murder Jigsaw was originally published in 1944. This new edition includes an introduction by crime fiction historian Nigel Moss. "Murder Jigsaw is a return to the type of detective story of which we have not had enough lately" Elizabeth Bowen "If these Radfords can keep writing thrillers of this class, they are going to take their rightful place very near the top" Liverpool Evening Express "This reader found Doctor Manson's methods of working quite absorbing" Queen
