The Five-Barred Gate is a mystery novel written by Ernest Temple Thurston and first published in 1916. The story follows the investigation of a murder that takes place in a rural English village. The victim is a wealthy landowner named Sir Horace Fewbanks, who is found dead in his study with a gunshot wound to the head. The prime suspect is his nephew, Jack, who had a motive for the murder and was seen leaving the scene of the crime. However, as the investigation unfolds, it becomes clear that there are several other suspects with their own motives and secrets. The detective in charge of the case, Inspector Chippenfield, must navigate a web of lies and deceit to uncover the truth behind Sir Horace's death. Along the way, he enlists the help of a young journalist named Frank Spargo, who becomes embroiled in the case and falls in love with Sir Horace's daughter, Cicely. As the investigation reaches its climax, the true identity of the murderer is revealed in a dramatic and unexpected twist. The Five-Barred Gate is a classic whodunit that will keep readers guessing until the very end.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
