NEW YORK: THE BOOK LEAGUE OF AMERICA, 1942 NICE LOOKING DARK BLUE COVER, GOLD PRINT SPINE, CLEAN AND TIGHT THROUGHOUT. THE VERY LAST BLANK PAGE MISSING. A VERY ENTERTAINING TALE FROM Sir Hugh Seymour Walpole, CBE (13 March 1884 1 June 1941) was an English novelist. He was the son of an Anglican clergyman, intended for a career in the church but drawn instead to writing. A gay man in Britain when that was illegal at the time. The tension builds until the chilling final scene, when the horrifying truth will be revealed about the killer - and the slain. The works of the prolific and phenomenally popular Sir Hugh Walpole (1884-1941) have been neglected since his death, but his "macabre" tales, of which The Killer and the Slain (1942) is the best, deserve rediscovery.
