But he's not content to be an ordinary man. He's a distant heir to the Gascoyne earldom, and he will not rest until he inherits it, lock, stock and barrel. One tiny problem: he must kill everyone in line before him, without getting caught. The result is an evergreen classic of blackly comic crime fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1907 as 'Israel Rank: The Autobiography of a Criminal', the novel is probably best known as inspiration for the classic Ealing comedy \u003cem\u003eKind Hearts and Coronets\u003c\/em\u003e, frequently voted one of the greatest British films ever. The novel itself remains a remarkably fresh satire that reverses conventional morality - a sympathetic comedy about a serial killer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'A superb thriller, but also a disturbing study in human nature. The narrative pace never slackens, thanks to the spareness and elegance of Horniman's prose . . .
