Description

“Good God, you don’t think it was an accident?”Wealthy industrialist Anthony Mullins is found dead in a garage fire with the door locked.

The locals assume it was an accident or perhaps suicide.

But when the autopsy reveals a bullet wound to Mullins’ head and no revolver is found, a murder investigation ensues. Was the killer his disgraced nephew Holliday, rumoured to be overly close to his wife? Or Patricia Mullins herself, whose inheritance relied on her husband’s death from natural causes? Or friend James Constant, who’s research society is the beneficiary of Mullins’ unusual will?

It soon becomes apparent that everyone, including the victim, has something to hide. Good-natured Police Constable Sadler and Inspector Trenton, are alternatively assisted and hampered by the efforts of the local residents to find the killer.

At first, everyone appears to have a perfect alibi, but the more Sadler and Trenton probe, the murkier the picture becomes.

Fortunately, journalist Charles Venables is on hand to help make sense of the conflicting and confusing evidence. This classic detective novel from the 1930s is now back in print.
