Lorac must be seriously considered for the position of leading writer of classic detective stories.’ – Birmingham Post\nWhile hot on the heels of serial coupon-racketeer Gordon Ginner, Chief Inspector MacDonald of Scotland Yard receives word of a peculiar incident up in Lancashire – the fishing cottage of a local farmer has been broken into, with an assortment of seemingly random items missing which include a reel of salmon line, a large sack and two iron dogs (or andirons) from his fireplace. This incident becomes all the more enticing to MacDonald when a body washes up on the banks of the River Lune not far from the cottage in question; the body of Gordon Ginner.\nFirst published in 1946 and set in the fell country of Lunesdale over the course of a rainy September, The Theft of the Iron Dogs is the very picture of a cosy crime mystery and showcases Lorac’s masterful attention to detail and deep affection for both Lunesdale and its residents.","brand":"British Library Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49820703523104,"sku":"9780712354639","price":8.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780712354639.jpg?v=1785256379","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/theft-of-the-iron-dogs-e-c-r-lorac-9780712354639","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
