The Piccadilly Murder is a 1929 mystery detective novel by the British writer Anthony Berkeley.[1] Berkeley was a prominent writer during the Golden Age of Detective Fiction, known for his private detective Roger Sheringham series and his development of the inverted detective story. Although not part of the Sheringham series it featured the character of Chief Inspector Moresby of Scotland Yard who also appeared several times with Sheringham.[2] Moresby reappeared with the chief protagonist Chitterwick in a sequel Trial and Error in 1937.
