Joseph Fletcher was a British journalist and novelist. He wrote over 200 books on numerous subjects both fiction and nonfiction. He was one of the leading writers of detective novels during the "Golden Age". Many of his later stories feature the detective Ronald Camberwell. This story begins near a 13th century cathedral. "American tourists, sure appreciators of all that is ancient and picturesque in England, invariably come to a halt, holding their breath in a sudden catch of wonder, as they pass through the halfruinous gateway which admits to the Close of Wrychester. Nowhere else in England is there a fairer prospect of oldworld peace. There before their eyes, set in the centre of a great green sward, fringed by tall elms and giant beeches, rises the vast fabric of the thirteenthcentury Cathedral, its high spire piercing the skies in which rooks are for ever circling and calling. The timeworn stone, at a little distance delicate as lacework, is transformed at different hours of the day into shifting shades of colour, varying from grey to purple the massiveness of the great nave and transepts contrasts impressively with the gradual tapering of the spire, rising so high above turret and clerestory that it at last becomes a mere line against the ether."
