Tey, Josephine - The Franchise Affair (Published in by The Folio Society in 2020. Illustrated by Mark Smith. Introduced by Lady Antonia Fraser. Another Folio edition from the mistress of crime best known for her unusual and surprise-filled mysteries. Josephine Tey's The Franchise Affair features a set of splendid illustrations by Mark Smith. Val McDermid described Josephine Tey as the 'most interesting of the great female writers of the Golden Age', and this unconventional crime mystery – one of the best loved of Tey's works – is a brilliant example of what makes her so unique. A town full of colourful characters and an impossible disappearance, all threaded through with Tey's signature psychological probing: all of these delicious ingredients explain why The Franchise Affair has repeatedly been adapted for film and television, and why the Crime Writers Association named it one of the Top 100 Crime Novels of All Time. This handsome new edition joins the Folio Tey series with seven sharply observant illustrations by award-winning artist Mark Smith. Lady Antonia Fraser, herself a celebrated author of crime fiction, has provided a thoughtful introduction. Bound in blocked buckram. Set in Dante with Station No. 5 display. 328 pages. Frontispiece and 6 colour illustrations. Plain slipcase. 9" x 5.75". )
