Romaner
A Procurator Fiscal in Scotland, being responsible for public prosecutions, needs to be a fairly hard-minded lawyer. Simon Rattar is an older lawyer of just this type. Along with holding the office Procurator Fiscal in his small town, he also serves as factor for the estate of the local laird whose wider clan is well-represented in the vicinity. Naturally, when one of Rattar's esteemed clients is murdered in strange circumstances, the local gossips struggle to make sense of the killing—and the police aren't much the wiser, either. J. Storer Clouston's sleuth, called in when the slow-witted rural detective fails to make progress, is the monocled and gentlemanly F. T. Carrington , anticipating by some years the first appearance of that more famous and aristocratic monocle-wearer, Lord Peter Wimsey . J. Storer Clouston (died 1944) was an influential writer of the modernist period. Their work has endured across generations and continues to be read and studied worldwide. As a work of classic literary fiction, Simon exemplifies the narrative craft and social insight that defined great storytelling of its era. Literary fiction of this period was characterized by careful attention to character psychology, social milieu, and the moral questions that animated public discourse.
