Produktbeschreibung

"Outrageous cleverness... among the finest fruits of the Golden Age" featuring amateur sleuth Philo Vance-from the author of The Canary Murder Case (Bloody Murder). Members of the Greene family keep dying while the pool of possible perpetrators keeps shrinking. Philo Vance-the independently wealthy, staggeringly brilliant, not remotely modest (and did we mention handsome?) amateur sleuth-uses his detective skills to unravel the murders, though sadly not before most of the Greene family has been bumped off. But that's Our Philo: The Sleuth You Love to Hate. "A proper detective novel, with puzzles, red herrings, a closed cast of suspects and, most effective of all, an effectively-created atmosphere. Terror stalks the Greene mansion and the tension oozes off the page." - In Search of the Classic Mystery Novel Praise for the Philo Vance series "With his highbrow manner and his parade of encyclopedic learning, Philo Vance is not only a detective; he is a god out of the machine." - The New York Times "The perfect sleuth for the Jazz Age." - CrimeReads "The Philo Vance novels were well-crafted puzzlers that captivated readers... the works of S.S. Van Dine serve to transport the reader back to a long-gone era of society and style of writing." - Mystery Scene
