Sequel to Murder · the Cases of Arthur Crook and Other Mysteries

Anthony Gilbert, the pseudonym of Lucy Beatrice Malleson (1899-1973), is remembered for the creation of Arthur Crook, who unlike aristocratic sleuths like Lord Peter Wimsey and Albert Campion is earthy and occasionally (as editor John Cooper says) "outrageously cheeky," with a sensitivity with the down-and-outers who are caught up in crime.

Beginning in 1936, Gilbert wrote more than 50 novels featuring Arthur Crook, a London lawyer who spends as much time in pubs as in his office, and who goes to outlandish, and not always legal, lengths to clear his clients.

Sequel to Murder includes all the Arthur Crook short cases, as well as a selection of Gilbert's other mystery stories.
