The Silk Stocking Murders

By Anthony Berkeley

In the well-heeled districts of London, a disturbing pattern emerges when a succession of women are found murdered under eerily similar circumstances. Each victim appears unconnected, yet the methodical nature of the crimes suggests a single calculating mind at work.

Roger Sheringham-novelist, critic, and reluctant detective-finds himself pulled into the investigation as official efforts falter. As the list of victims grows, Sheringham must sift through false leads, social fa ades, and dangerous assumptions to uncover the truth behind the killings before the murderer strikes again. Written with Anthony Berkeley's trademark intelligence and psychological insight, The Silk Stocking Murders is a masterclass in misdirection and logical deduction. A key entry in the Roger Sheringham Mysteries, this novel exemplifies the sophistication and tension that defined the Golden Age of British crime fiction.

This Impact Books edition presents the novel in a modern, reader-friendly format, making a cornerstone mystery accessible to contemporary audiences while preserving its classic appeal.
