Reputation for a Song is a 1952 crime novel by the British writer Edward Grierson.[1] It is an inverted detective story, breaking with many of the traditions of the established Golden Age of Detective Fiction.[2] A young man is placed on trial accused of murdering his father. Its conclusion rests on interpretations of the presumption of innocence.
