A classic whodunit originally published in 1925, False Scent is perfect tale for fans of Golden Age mysteries and anyone who loves a well-crafted tale of suspense. Stevenege, of the Scotland Yard Criminal Investigation Department, has just finished a strenuous case and is taking a well-earned holiday in an ancient, historic, very small town in the northern parts of Yorkshire called Alanschester.

Fletcher is a gripping mystery that plunges readers into a world of deception, intrigue, and hidden motives. When Stevenege is lead by a local woman to pursue his painting interests they come across a body in the road. In addition to that, the famous Alanschester siege coins are missing from the local museum, and so the mystery begins. Was the murdered man the thief? Who murdered him? Where are the coins? Stevenege is forced to lay down his brush and palette to solve the mystery.
Autorenporträt
Joseph Smith Fletcher (1863-1935) was an English journalist and author. He wrote more than 230 books on a wide variety of subjects, both fiction and non-fiction, and was one of the most prolific English writers of detective fiction.Fletcher's first books published were poetry. In 1914, Fletcher wrote his first detective novel and went on to write over a hundred more, many featuring the private investigator Ronald Camberwell.Fletcher published multiple crime fiction novels during the "Golden Age of Detective Fiction," namely his The Middle Temple Murder (1919) which served as the basic formulaic template for writing detective fiction novels; though, this particular novel (in addition to many of his others) did not share many general traits with those that characterize this particular literary era.
