Mortmain
O książce
"Mortmain" is one of the earliest works by American lawyer and writer of legal thrillers Arthur Cheney Train. It's a delightful story that offers a fascinating peek into the past with a surprise ending. Excerpt from «Mortmain» «Sir Penniston Crisp was a man of some sixty active years, whose ruddy cheeks, twinkling blue eyes, and convincingly innocent smile suggested forty. At thirty he had been accounted the most promising young surgeon in London; at forty he had become one of the three leading members of his profession; at fifty he had amassed a fortune and had begun to accept only those cases which involved complications of true scientific interest, or which came to him on the personal application of other distinguished physicians.»
