Publisher's Synopsis
Claude Bruce is a barrister and an amateur detective who is caught unaware into the mysterious disappearance and the subsequent murder of Lady Dyke, his friend's wife. Together with White, in an amateurish Sherlock Holmes' fashion, Bruce must use his power of deduction to find the culprit. But unlike Sherlock, Bruce is fallible and makes some costly mistakes which results in a humorous but enjoyable murder mystery. The power of this novel lies in its expression and the layout of the puzzling case which has endeared this novel to the mystery lovers for generations!
