This little tribute to one of the world's greatest - and I guess now, not widely read, novelists - occurred to me when trying to resolve a pivotal passage of the plot. How could I make this dramatic, yet believable? It's a tiny tick, hard to spot - the realisation was all.
The gentleman who spotted this was elderly - I wonder if this is any coincidence; he was also from Canada, which may be another - if somewhat tenuous - clue.
Literally, if you blink, you'll miss it! It is the merest nuance; however, I know that the eagle-eyed amongst you will be on the case.
As a little incentive, I'll think up a small prize for the winner. Contact me via 'twitter' - @Lochlomonden is my handle on there. With no attempt at originality, I'll put the correct answers in a hat and draw the winner.
So, a mystery within a mystery. You have until mid-day next Tuesday (GMT).
Good luck!!
(Incidentally, WC, I'm shocked that you didn't manage to pick this up- you know, what with your immense intellect, and all :)
As a book from Amazon and all good outlets; as an ebook, worldwide on Kindle and Kobo.
I was contacted the other day by the first person to spot the nod to a very famous crime novel within the text of Whisky From Small Glasses. Burgundy wine
