Strange Ending
E.R. Punshon
"The poor devil's
mouth was filled with feathers. An unconscious man with his mouth full
of feathers wouldn't have had much chance of surviving, and this one
didn't."
The press gleefully dubbed it the 'Banquet Murder'.
The murdered man, Hugh Newton, had apparently been making a sumptuous
feast for two in his flat, before his own goose was cooked.
Bobby
Owen of the Yard is drawn to the cold case. Starting with the curious
fact that the apartment building has experienced two break-ins since the
murder, Bobby starts investigating the colourful, or faintly macabre,
inhabitants. Elsewhere in London, Doreen Caine, cookery instructor, is
excited that the case has been reopened. And further afield, a travel
agency specializing in gastronomic tours comes under suspicion. It's a
bouillabaise of a mystery, one of Punshon's finest, in which Bobby will
discover whether retribution - if not revenge - is a dish best served
cold.
Strange Ending is the thirty-first novel in the
Bobby Owen Mystery series, originally published in 1953. This new
edition features a bonus Bobby Owen short story, and an introduction by
crime fiction historian Curtis Evans.
