- Synopsis
- CRIME OF THE CENTURY Award-winning novelist Kingsley Amis has always delighted in crime and espionage fiction. His THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY is a classic mystery novel in the best British tradition. Bridget Ainsworth, aged twenty, lay dead in Barn Elms Park, stabbed five times in the back with a peculiarly thin blade. The next night another woman was found murdered-and then another. A serial killer was on the loose in London. Detective-Superintendent Bill Barry, recalled from well-earned retirement to handle the case, was baffled: there seemed to be no sequence, no reason for the choice of victims. But Christopher Dane, a detective novelist suffering from writer's block, was intrigued. Doctors, psychologists, lawyers, politicians, and even a rock star offered their expertise and joined in the hunt. But the biggest crime was yet to come... First published as a six-part serial in London's Sunday Times, THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY includes a unique bonus. British readers were invited to send in their own solutions to the mystery after Episode Five. The winning entry is reprinted here alongside Kingsley Amis's own denouement, and this volume also features an introduction by the author.
