The third book in the Inspector Alan Grant series.
Val McDermid described Josephine Tey as the тАШmost interesting of the great female writers of the Golden AgeтАЩ, and this unconventional crime mystery тАУ one of the best loved of TeyтАЩs works тАУ is a brilliant example of what makes her so unique.
A town full of colourful characters and an impossible disappearance, all threaded through with TeyтАЩs signature psychological probing: all of these delicious ingredients explain why The Franchise Affair has repeatedly been adapted for film and television, and why the Crime Writers Association named it one of the Top 100 Crime Novels of All Time.
