A Chief Inspector Pointer Mystery

Farthing was one of the oldest and finest houses in England, and, as with many ancient houses it came with legends attached to this. A particularly gruesome one dated back to the time of Queen Mary when the then current owner of the house, denounced his own wife as a heretic in order to retain possession of the estate. Shortly after he met his own doom. Since that time, a sequence of three eerie laughs has presaged the death of the most recent owner. When Chief Inspector Pointer is approached to investigate when the laughs have sounded twice, he demurs, claiming pressing business, only to be called in when Edgar Danford, the latest owner is found murdered. The call reporting the death had been made by the victim’s partner, a Mr. Digby Cox, but when the police arrived on the scene, Cox had vanished leaving Pointer to ponder just who Mr. Cox was and what part had he played in the death of Danford. It would seem that to solve the mystery of Edgar Danford's death, Pointer must first find the Mysterious Partner.

�ber die Autorin bzw. den Autor

The identity of the author is as much a mystery as the plots of the novels. Two dozen novels were published from 1924 to 1944 as by Archibald Fielding, A. E. Fielding, or Archibald E. Fielding, yet the only clue as to the real author is a comment by the American publishers, H.C. Kinsey Co. that A. E. Fielding was in reality a "middle-aged English woman by the name of Dorothy Feilding whose peacetime address is Sheffield Terrace, Kensington, London, and who enjoys gardening." Research on the part of John Herrington has uncovered a person by that name living at 2 Sheffield Terrace from 1932-1936. She appears to have moved to Islington in 1937 after which she disappears. To complicate things, some have attributed the authorship to Lady Dorothy Mary Evelyn Moore nee Feilding (1889-1935), however, a grandson of Lady Dorothy denied any family knowledge of such authorship. The archivist at Collins, the British publisher, reports that any records of A. Fielding were presumably lost during WWII. Birthdates have been given variously as 1884, 1889, and 1900. Unless new information comes to light, it would appear that the real authorship must remain a mystery.
