The Talleyrand Maxim

The Talleyrand Maxim takes its name from the advice never to display what one feels—a rule Linford Pratt, a solicitor’s clerk, is dangerously ready to apply when a document falls into his hands. Nesta, left to reckon her position, must decide whom to trust with revelations that threaten her mother twice over. J. S. Fletcher’s mystery is a study of a will, a secret and a man who has read his Talleyrand too well.

This special edition has been created with accessibility in mind. It features a fully adjustable coloured overlay system designed to support readers with Irlen Syndrome, dyslexia, or visual stress. By reducing visual strain and allowing each reader to customise their experience, this edition makes Fletcher’s calculating narrative more comfortable and enjoyable to read.

Rediscover the clerkly ambition and maxim-guided mystery of The Talleyrand Maxim in a format thoughtfully crafted to be more inclusive for all readers.
