New to Orion paperback, and published alongside WYCLIFFE'S WILD-GOOSE CHASE All the previous novels published in Orion paperback reprint regularly. Wycliffe not only attracts a wide readership, the television series, starring Jack Shepherd, has also been extremely successful. The critics on W. J. Burley's Wycliffe novels: 'Wycliffe teases out the truth with delicate skill that leaves the reader intrigued and convinced' Mail on Sunday. 'Wycliffe is a rarity among the solid, decent English coppers abounding in fiction. WJB's success is thoroughly deserved' Scotsman. 'You can always count on Wycliffe ... he inevitably guarantees a good story, convincing characters and appealing landscape' Financial Times. 'Burley is one of the adornments of the classic English crime novel' Yorkshire Post 'First-class, old-time, hyper-ingenious whodunit' Observer.
W.J. Burley lived near Newquay in Cornwall, and was a schoolmaster until he retired to concentrate on his writing. His many Wycliffe books include, most recently, Wycliffe and the Guild of Nine. He died in 2002.
Whenever a character comes back as many times as Chief
Superintendent Wycliffe, a reviewer is faced with a dilemma: What
can you say that you haven t already said? We called attention to
Burley s solid plotting, well-described and colorful settings, and
intriguing characters . . . Finally, we have no choice but to
repeat ourselves by emphasizing one more time how pleasurable the
familiar conventions of the genre can be in the hands of a writer
as good as Burley. "Booklist""
