The Tangled Treasure Trail: A 1920s Mystery

Written by Benedict Brown

Narrated by George Blagden

Wild parties, high-speed treasure hunts, and a string of murders to investigate – what a perfectly normal weekend for a seventy-five-year-old lord.

England, 1926. After a wealthy industrialist is found dead on a treasure hunt with the Bright Young People of London, the renowned detective, Lord Edgington, and his loyal grandson, Christopher, suspect foul play and sign up for the next speedy chase across the city. When a second body is found, shot through the heart in the centre of Westminster, the mismatched duo set off on the trail of a killer.

One victim is old and rich, the other young and poor, but could the jazz-and-drink-fuelled parties of the infamous Gargoyle Club link the apparently unrelated figures? Greed, espionage, wartime valour, fast cars, aristocrats and bohemians come crashing together in Lord Edgington’s most mind-boggling case yet. Will you be able to unravel The Tangled Treasure Trail before the seasoned detectives?

The fifth entry in the bestselling “Lord Edgington Investigates…” series of classic whodunnits is filled with twists and surprises from the first page to the last.

Narrated by George Blagden from the TV shows Vikings and Versailles and the Oscar-winning film Les Miserables.

Benedict Brown

I’m a Welsh-Irish-Englishman originally from South London but now living in Burgos, a beautiful city in the north of Spain, with my French-Spanish wife and our young daughter. Writing has always been my passion. It was my favourite half-an-hour a week at primary school, and I started on my first, truly abysmal book as a teenager. So it wasn’t a difficult decision to study literature at university which led to an MA in Creative Writing. I grew up in a crime-fiction-mad family and had made a few clumsy attempts at writing one over the years before coming up with the idea for my contemporary whodunits "The Izzy Palmer Mysteries". My second series, the 1920s-set "Lord Edgington Investigates...", has been a great success, with each of the books becoming a bestseller. If you'd like to tell me what you think about my detectives, my writing or the world at large, I’d love to hear from you, so feel free to get in touch at www.benedictbrown.net where you can also download my free mystery novellas and join my readers' club.
