The Crime and the Criminal Book I by Richard Marsh is a suspenseful crime novel that delves into themes of mistaken identity, deception, and the complexity of truth. The story follows Mr. Thomas Tennant, a man who encounters a woman from his past, Nelly, on a train journey from Brighton to Victoria. Shocked to see her after believing she had died seven years earlier, Tennant is caught in a tense struggle with Nelly, which results in her falling out of the train. Confused by the incident, Tennant is further unsettled when he meets a detective at the next station, who is investigating the disappearance of a woman named Louise O'Donnell. Although Tennant knows more than he lets on, he chooses not to reveal his encounter with Nelly, convinced that she is truly dead. As the narrative unfolds, the themes of identity, guilt, and moral ambiguity surface, raising questions about the boundaries between reality and perception. Marsh masterfully builds suspense, keeping readers on edge as the mystery deepens and the true nature of the crime is slowly uncovered.

Autorenporträt
Richard Marsh, a pseudonym used by English author Richard Bernard Heldmann, was born on October 12, 1857, and died on August 9, 1915. Author of numerous best-selling books during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Marsh is most known today for his supernatural thriller The Beetle, which came out the same year as Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897) and was initially sold six times more than the latter book. The Beetle was published until 1960. In addition to writing many short tales, Marsh authored about 80 volumes of fiction in the horror, crime, romance, and humor genres. Starting with The Beetle in 2004, many of these have been reissued in the last few years. Robert Aickman was a well-known author of short "strange stories" and the grandson of Marsh. On October 12, 1857, Richard Bernard Heldmann was born in North London, the son of lace manufacturer Emma Marsh (1830-1911) and trader Joseph Heldmann (1827-96). In 1880, Heldmann started releasing fiction in the style of adventure and boys' school tales for magazine publications. The most significant of these was Union Jack, a prestigious weekly journal for boys published in association with writers W.H.G. Kingston (1814-80) and G. A. Henty (1832-1902).
