Roy Fuller: With My Little Eye, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Teenager Frederick French is attending a trial in his father's courtroom when a gunshot is heard and the plaintiff falls dead in a pool of blood. Amidst the confusion, Frederick catches a glimpse of someone who may be the killer and who appears to be a hunchbacked dwarf. He decides to play amateur detective to try to get to the bottom of who killed the man and why, but the list of suspects is long: the victim's grieving widow, a phony medium, a failed poet, a seedy solicitor, and a sinister figure known as Dr. De'ath. But what starts out as an amusing adventure soon turns much more serious, and by the time Frederick realizes he is in far over his head it will already be too late ...
