FORESTER, l'auteur de la celebre serie d'aventures maritimes de Horatio HONRBLOWER et de AFRICAN QUEEN , entre autres Je n'ai pas trouve de resume en francais : William Marble is a middle-aged bank clerk with an extravagant wife, two children and a host of debts. When a rich nephew from Australia pays a visit to the Marbles' little house in Dulwich, the clerk's desperation is such that he robs and kills the stranger, burying him in the garden without alerting his wife's suspicion. A profitable speculation on the fortunes of the franc soon means that Marble becomes very rich. But he is haunted by his crime and, in an excellent final twist, ultimately suffers an ironic fate.
