James Corbett Author Biography - Further Information
James Corbett has come in for some flack in regard to his prose style, indeed some have gone as far as to compile lists of his best 'gaffes'. Whilst this is inescapable, here at CCF we still stick by the man. The superb jacket artwork, as usual with Herbert Jenkins, gives him a free pass in our eyes. To enter into the spirit though we leave the last word to the great man himself:
"Your steps are feline and catlike".

Classic Crime Fiction
