The Book of Murder
Author(s):
Ron Cowen
Henry T. Aythecliff, a much married and once successful writer, now heavily in debt, summons his three ex-wives to his mansion, his plan being to extort a sizable amount of money from each of them. He has a secret meeting with each in turn, and when he is discovered murdered the clues indicate that each of his wives (including his present one) could have done the deed--and had a strong motive to do so. Patiently and resourcefully the young detective assigned to do the case sifts through the ingeniously devised evidence--until, in a surprise ending, the truth is finally revealed and the guilty party is apprehended.
