About this product
Product Information
Marjorie had never seen a dead body until she got home one tranquil summer evening and found her sister Dot lying on the kitchen floor in a pretty dress, with her head in the oven. She looked peaceful, as if she was asleep. Their mother suspects, however, that Dot's death was far from natural. What's more, she knows who the killer is - and she is determined to make him suffer. So slowly and meticulously, she plots her revenge. After all, who would suspect a neatly dressed, grey-haired widow of anything? And what could possibly go wrong? The Pursued, C. S. Forester's dark, twisted tale of murder, lust and retribution, was written in 1935, but its typescript manuscript was lost. More than seven decades later, it has now been rediscovered and is published for the first time. It is a novel years ahead of its time; rewriting the traditions of crime fiction to create a gripping psychological portrayal of obsession, jealousy, torment and the grim underside of suburban London life.Product Identifiers

A classic from the past
They don't write fiction like this any more, which is it's charm. There is loads of 'unwitting testimony' to life in the early 20s which I found fascinating, and the characters are well drawn and developed. The writing is not in the same category as his Hornblower books, or his compelling 'The Ship', but this book is still an important slice of historical literature.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
