'There is an old saying, 'Murder will out.' I am really unable to see why this should be so.' Israel Rank: The Autobiography of a Criminal (1907) inspired the classic Ealing film Kind Hearts and Coronets. But though both works are comedies about a serial murderer, they are different creatures. The eponymous narrator of Roy Horniman's novel, son of a Jewish commercial traveller, offers his memoirs from the condemned cell, having murdered six people who stood between him and an earldom he hoped to inherit. Through Israel's story Horniman explores and parodies the anti-Semitic attitudes of Edwardian England. "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. it is a book of its time, quite faithful to it, and (despite its 400 pages) over all too quickly". (Simon Heffer, in his Preface).

Language: English. Brand new Book. "Like an antique revolver, Horniman's murderous comedy is precision tooled, elegant, and must be handled with care" - Patrick Kincaid, author of The Continuity Girl To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the release of Ealing Studio's sublime comedy classic Kind Hearts and Coronets, D'Ascoyne Press are republishing the novel that originally inspired the film. Israel Rank: The Autobiography of a Criminal is a 1907 darkly comic novel written by Roy Horniman, telling the tale of the eponymous anti-hero's campaign to cut back his family tree and inherit the aristocratic status of his hated relatives. Told from his condemned cell, the story charts - in surprisingly lurid detail - how Rank goes from the status of poor relation, to advancing in life by killing off the six relatives standing in the way of him succeeding to his family seat. Set against a backdrop of Edwardian snobbery, upper-class ritual, and casual antisemitism, Israel Rank: The Autobiography of a Criminal is darker than the film it went on to inspire. It is also a fast-paced, engaging, and beautifully-rendered thriller - both disturbing and funny in equal measure. Books.
