Book Overview

"Sylvia had on the wrong stockings for her dress, and her lipstick was all crooked, so I think things are pretty grim."

Lovely, foolish Sylvia Colesborough knew him only as a voice on the telephone. It told her how she could earn the money she had lost at cards. She enlists her reluctant friend, debutante Gay Hardwicke, to help her earn this money, and safeguard her husband's reputation into the bargain. But blackmail turns to murder in this classic country house whodunit, and Gay's young man is soon suspect number one...

And Mr. Zero? Whether he loses or wins, his fate lies at the end of a story bearing the reader along through mystery, romance, intrigue and murder to a thrilling climax.

Mr. Zero was originally published in 1938. This new edition features an introduction by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans.

About Patricia Wentworth

Patricia Wentworth (1878-1961) was one of the masters of classic English mystery writing. Born in India as Dora Amy Elles, she began writing after the death of her first husband, publishing her first novel in 1910. In the 1920s, she introduced the character who would make her famous: Miss Maud Silver, the former governess whose stout figure, fondness for Tennyson, and passion for knitting served to disguise a keen intellect. Along with Agatha Christie's Miss Marple, Miss Silver is the definitive embodiment of the English style of cozy mysteries.
