Paperback / softback
Description
H. R. F. Keating is best known for his long series of Inspector Ghote mysteries set in India, but Jack, the Lady Killer is something completely different as well as completely unexpected.
It is one of the rarest forms known to literature, a detective novel in verse.
Inspired by Vikram Seth's brilliantly successful revival of the verse novel in The Golden Gate, Keating develops his rhyme-crime in nearly 300 fourteen-line stanzas.During a writing career spanning forty years, Keating has won many honours, most notably the award of the CWA Cartier Diamond Dagger in 1996 for a lifetime's achievements.
Since 1985 he has been President of the Detection Club in succession to some of the greats of British crime fiction, G.
K. Chesterton, Dorothy L. Sayers, Agatha Christie and Julian Symons.
