"Before she could finish what she wanted to say, she just gasped once or twice and died there in my arms."

Nothing seems amiss at the Hillier family dinner party but the very next morning Jacqueline Hillier is found dying in her car. Her clothes are dirty and torn, her face bruised, but it was an overdose of chloral hydrate which took her life. Nobody knows where she might have gone . . . and nobody knows why, after her funeral, her grave is covered in violets.

Anthony Bathurst, a guest at the local hostelry, is intrigued by the case, officially ruled as a suicide. Acting unofficially, outside of the police investigation, his resources are limited, yet he will need to move swiftly-Death is far from done with the Hillier family.

The Case of the Faithful Heart was first published in 1939. This new edition features an introduction by Steve Barge.

Flynn, Brian: - Brian Flynn was born in 1885 in Leyton, Essex. He won a scholarship to the City Of London School, and from there went into the civil service. In World War I he served as Special Constable on the Home Front, also teaching Accountancy, Languages, Maths and Elocution to men, women, boys and girls in the evenings, and acting in his spare time. It was a seaside family holiday that inspired Brian Flynn to turn his hand to writing in the mid-twenties. Finding most mystery novels of the time mediocre in the extreme, he decided to compose his own. Edith, the author's wife, encouraged its completion, and after a protracted period finding a publisher, it was eventually released in 1927 by John Hamilton in the UK and Macrae Smith in the U.S. as The Billiard-Room Mystery. The author died in 1958. In all, he wrote and published 57 mysteries, the vast majority featuring the super-sleuth Anthony Bathurst.
