Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library series

Hardback

Description

For fans of true crime and of classic crime fiction, The Franchise Affair by Josephine Tey is a gripping thriller featuring detective Alan Grant and a masterful exposé of the powerful connections between media, the establishment and what people choose to believe.

Based on a true story. Complete and unabridged. Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers.

These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover.

This edition is introduced by writer David Stuart Davies. Fifteen-year-old Betty Kane has never put a foot wrong.

Naturally, everyone is shocked and horrified to hear her story – that she was kidnapped, tortured and held prisoner by Marion Sharpe and her elderly mother, owners of the mysterious old house, The Franchise.

But are the two women really guilty of such a horrendous crime?

Every page resonates with tension as the story unfolds – did they or didn’t they take a young girl prisoner? And whose story can you trust?
