The Case of the Malverne Diamonds
by Leonard R. GribbleThe Case of the Malverne Diamonds, first published in 1937, is a British ‘golden-age’ mystery featuring Inspector Anthony Slade of Scotland Yard. From the dustjacket: “In this unusual mystery tale, Mr. Gribble, one of the most successful writers in this field in England, tells the story of the theft at Steyning Towers of Lady Malverne’s famous diamond necklace known as ‘Tears of Death.’ Before the case is solved by the ingenious Inspector Anthony Slade, several murders are committed, involving an American Olympic champion, Lady Malverne herself and several others. Like all Mr. Gribble’s stories, this novel is peopled with flesh-and-blood human beings, real situations, and abounds in humor and good writing. It is not the stilted, mechanical tale of puppets that is so often found in routine mystery stories.” Leonard R. Gribble (1908-1985) was the author of many mystery and detective novels, most featuring Inspector Slade.
