    About this audiobook

    The storm had descended swiftly, sweeping in suddenly from the sea, driving across the downs to the hills at high speed, blotting out the faint rays of a crescent moon and hiding the country-side beneath a pall of blackness, which was forked at intervals by flashes of lightning. - Book's opening sentence

    Arthur J. Rees

    Arthur John Rees (1872–1942), was an Australian writer born in Melbourne. He is best remembered for his mystery and detective novels and short stories. Although he was a prolific writer and his works were enjoyed widely in Australia and England, his biography is obscured. He most likely travelled to Europe in his early twenties and lived in England for some time. Many of his novels are set in English locations.
