The end was in sight for the Crime Club when Collins was bought out by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation in 1989.
From 1939, the Crime Club also issued all the remaining works of Ngaio Marsh to be published (starting with Overture to Death) as well as many of the volumes of such 'Golden Age of Detective Fiction' writers such as John Rhode and Freeman Wills Crofts.
