His only real friend is an old school chum, William Widgery, whom he has not seen in decades but with whom he maintains a lively correspondence. When Widgery disappears, perhaps having run off with a male lover, his sister contacts Garner for help. A little amateur sleuthing might be just what Garner needs to liven up his quiet existence, but soon he finds himself in over his head. The terror and suspense ratchet up to fever pitch as he finds himself pursued and menaced by shadowy enemies, leading up to a brutal and unforgettable finale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first crime novel by the famed English poet Roy Fuller (1912-1991), \u003cem\u003eThe Second Curtain\u003c\/em\u003e (1953) returns to print at last in this new edition featuring an introduction by Alice Ferrebe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"An unqualified success ... a horribly sinister and completely convincing murder story.\" - \u003cem\u003eTime and Tide\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A most entertaining work ... a delightful novel.\" - \u003cem\u003eNew Statesman and Nation\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Beautifully written ... a first-class novel.\" - \u003cem\u003eNottingham Guardian\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 156\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.36 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 23, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42718595252287,"sku":"9781954321823","price":36.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/da2f1a8a873c2bcaa842b96605ecd030.webp?v=1765082546","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/the-second-curtain-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
