The Franchise Affair
Josephine Tey
The Saturday Play Sat 8 Oct 2005
The Franchise is a dark and ugly house on the outskirts of the village and the two women who live there keep themselves to themselves. But when they are accused of abducting and torturing a young girl, people begin to take notice, and suddenly local solicitor Robert Blair finds himself involved with the most extraordinary case of his life. Josephine Tey’s bestselling and classic thriller grabs our attention by the throat and holds it from start to finish. No need for bodies in libraries or complicated poisons - merely a terrible accusation, a protestation of innocence, and an incredibly tense search for the truth. The book has never been out of print, and there was a hugely popular film made in 1950 starring Michael Denison and Dulcie Grey.
