The House of Godwinsson: A Bobby Owen Mystery

published 1948
Bobby Owen stood for a time in silence, looking downthoughtfully at the dead man’s face. A small, insignificant
face, lacking even that touch of repose and dignity which
death, even violent death, so often gives, and one that
Bobby had never seen before. Of that at least he was sure.
Y
ET this same man was found dead with a detailed and
accurate plan of Bobby Owen’s new London flat. Why? The
plot soon thickens when a man with a grievance against Bobby
turns up to identify the dead man … But Bobby will need
many more beads on the thread before he understands the
murderous connection to an old Army Officer, and what
necessitated the death of a ‘burglar’.
