A Savage Game

A short story from the British Library Crime Classic collection Murder by the Book. Whilst most known for his stories of Winnie the Pooh, A.A. Milne’s literary accomplishments span a range of genres. In A Savage Game, detective fiction writer Coleby is asked for his theory on a murder case that seemingly points to one conclusion. But when the facts don’t quite add up, Coleby must draw on his crime writing experience to construct a plausible narrative.
