Penguin Modern Classics Crime & Espionage - Payment Deferred

Discover the new Penguin Crime and Espionage title by Cecil Scott Forester, a tense drama about a desperate man spiraling toward consequences he cannot control. Bank clerk William Marble faces financial ruin, and a sequence of rash choices—one dangerous plan, a bottle of cyanide, and a shovel—draw him into a world where there is no perfect murder. As guilt and fear take hold, Marble’s family becomes entangled in a web that grows more complex and dangerous, pulling everyone toward an unpredictable outcome.

This edition joins the Penguin modern classics series and is presented as a paperback with 192 pages. It offers a compact, fast-moving narrative that explores motive, moral deterioration, and the unforeseen repercussions of crime. The work remains a stark meditation on the limits of control and the cascading effects of one misstep.
