The Franchise Affair

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Franchise Affair is a 1948 mystery novel by Josephine Tey, in which a small-town lawyer is called on to defend two women accused of kidnapping. Although given a contemporary setting, it is inspired by the 18th-century case of Elizabeth Canning.

The novel was adapted for film in 1951, starring Michael Denison and Dulcie Gray. It has been adapted twice for television, in 1962 and 1988.

In 1990, the UK Crime Writers' Association named it one of The Top 100 Crime Novels of All Time.
