Mr. Priestley’s Problem

A.B. Cox

Collins

1927

Published in the US as The Amateur Crime.

"What would you do if you found you had committed a murder? What would the ordinary, decent man do if he killed a fellow-creature inadvertently, and there was no evidence against him? These are the problems which agitate two amateur criminologists, and their argument becomes so heated that they agree to stage a mock murder in order to watch the reaction of the supposed murderer. The issues become more and more involved as the book proceeds, and the situations in which the now highly perturbed conspirators find themselves more and more ludicrous."
