From London Far
Michael Innes
As Meredith, an academic, stands in a Bloomsbury tobacconist waiting for his two ounces of tobacco, he murmurs a verse of 'London, a Poem' and is astounded when a trap door opens into the London Catacombs, bringing him face to face with the Horton Venus, by Titian.
From London Far is a 1946 mystery thriller novel by the British writer Michael Innes. It is a standalone novel from the author who was best known for his series featuring the Golden Age detective John Appleby. Like much of Innes work it contains elements of farcical humour. It was published the same year in the United States by Dodd, Mead under the alternative title The Unsuspected Chasm.
Writing in the New Statesman, reviewer Ralph Partridge noted "The casual intrusion of a literary don into a den of thieves starts the ball rolling. As there is a plot I say no more. But the book is called a thriller, and anyone who has read The Daffodil Affair knows what liberties Michael Innes allows himself under that heading."
