'When Jeffrey Scott was found brutally murdered in an empty house, the suspects were ready-made, For all of these had a motive in common - the Weber Estate. There were Lionel Weber, the owner of the house, who lied from the start, and Michael Keating, cousin to the murdered man, who talked too little and too much. Then there was the man who, with documentary proof, swore that he was Jeffery Scott and that the victim was an impostor, and finally the hard-faced woman who claimed to be the dead man's wife. Tommy Rankin, called in to tackle a bewilderinly intricate problem, complicated by the suicide, some years before, of Stephen Weber, was baffled time and again until his patient, brilliant detection brought to light the design of an almost perfect crime.' 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
