Eccentric scholar Professor Gervase Fen is literary advisor on a film about the life and work of the poet Pope. When an actress dies suddenly, Fen assists the police in their enquiries on the set.
Edmund Crispin was the pseudonym of Robert Bruce Montgomery, (usually credited as Bruce Montgomery), an English composer. He first became established under his own name as a composer of vocal and choral music, including An Oxford Requiem (1951), but later turned to film work, writing the scores for many British comedies of the 1950s, most notably the Carry On series.
Frequent Hearses (1950) was the 7th Gervase Fen novel.
