Tracks in the Snow.

About Tracks in the Snow

Tracks in the Snow is a 1906 detective novel by the British writer and politician Godfrey Benson. It was his only crime novel, he later became better known for his non-fiction works such as biographies of Abraham Lincoln (1916) and Theodore Roosevelt (1923). A popular success, it was republished in 1928, but it later fell into obscurity. Martin Edwards included it in his list of a hundred classic crime novels and noted "Benson's thoughtful, well-crafted prose, his insights into human behaviour, and the way in which the story touches on issues such as free will and the ramifications of Britain's imperial past combine to make his brief venture into the crime genre notable".
