In this classic country house mystery, Victor L. Whitechurch delivers a clever and atmospheric tale of theft, suspicion, and deduction. When a daring robbery takes place at the grand Rudwick House, the quiet life of the English countryside is shattered. Precious jewels vanish, a locked room baffles investigators, and every member of the household becomes a potential suspect. Enter Thorpe Hazell, Whitechurch’s unique and unorthodox railway detective, whose calm intellect and sharp observation skills make him a formidable investigator. As Hazell delves into the case, he uncovers a web of secrets, hidden motives, and subtle clues that point toward a surprising culprit. The Robbery at Rudwick House is a gem of early 20th-century detective fiction—rich with period charm, classic puzzle elements, and the methodical brilliance that made Whitechurch a respected name among Golden Age mystery writers.
