Published in the UK as *Garstons* *The Garston Murder Case*, first published in 1930, is the first book in author H. C. Bailey's series featuring hymn-singing criminal lawyer Joshua Clunk. He investigates stolen industrial secrets and a string of murders on the palatial estate of the Garston family and in the surrounding villages. Along the way, the viewpoints of Scotland Yard's Superintendent Bell, a local police inspector, a Jane Eyre-like nurse, and a young student are also presented, making *The Garston Murder Case* a classic example of a 'Golden Age' British mystery.
