The Stowmarket Mystery
The Stowmarket Mystery is a mystery novel written by Louis Tracy and first published in the United States in 1904 (it was published a year earlier in England).
The novel introduces us to Reginald Brett, a lawyer by profession but an amateur detective. Reginald is a keen investigator who works alongside Inspector Winter.
Both take notice of the David Hume-Frazer case. This man was accused of the murder of his cousin, but was acquitted when no conclusive evidence was found. However, the shadow of suspicion haunts David and affects his personal relationships and the wedding with his fiancée.
To clear his reputation, David asks Reginald Brett to investigate the case and he finally agrees and ends up finding some evidence that may prove David's innocence...
