I think murder is practically a certainty.William Weddall was eccentric even in Ludovic Travers wide experience. There was about him an aura of secrecy and subterfuge at odds with the quiet atmosphere of his estate. Hinchbrook Hall, showplace for his antiques and paintings. He had sent Travers to Paris on the seemingly pointless errand of mailing a letter. And Travers later saw him deliberately miss a boat.Then William Weddall plunged from a window to his death. A running man was seen leaving Hinchbrook Hall after the fatal accident, a man identifiable only by the scar on his chin. Weddalls American chauffeur, Sam, asked Travers to investigate. It was Sams guess that Weddall was pushed. Suave and urbane, with a connoisseurs eye for antiques, Travers stepped in.An unwholesome nephew, an ambitious housekeeper, fakedantique swindles in a Bohemian underworldthese are the elements that combine to give Christopher Bushs 52nd mystery an electric atmosphere of suspense.The Case of the Running Man was originally published in 1958. This new edition features an introduction by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans."Throws incidental information on art and antiques into an ingenious plot as Ludovic Travers pursues the murderer of a collector."
