A Graveyard to Let


Author: John Dickson Carr
0 (0 Votes)
Grumbling old Sir Henry Merrivale - master of the impossible crime - in his first American case.

Fighting fire with fire - or, in this case, American killers with American weapons - old H.M. Drops a walloping homer where it will do the most good.

It all starts with a cryptic telegram received aboard a ship bound for New York...an invitation to watch a miracle...a challenge to explain it. H.M. Can't say no, and so he starts for the plush suburb of Maralarch...and the most flamboyant case of his career.

You will revel in the fractious antics of the "old man" as he copes with New York cops, augments the uproar of the subway system, and traps a highly unpleasant character with a brilliant double play.
