Low, Marston & Co. Ltd., 1935. 520 $a "Vivian Lestrange--celebrated author of the popular mystery novel The Charterhouse Case and total recluse--has apparently dropped off the face of the Earth. After he was reported missing by his secretary Eleanor, whom Inspector Bond suspects to be the author herself, crime and murder are afoot when Lestrange's housekeeper is also found to have disappeared. Bond and Warner of Scotland Yard set to work to investigate a murder with no body and a potentially fictional victim, as E. C. R. Lorac spins a twisting tale full of wry humor and red herrings, poking some fun at her contemporary reviewers, who long suspected the Lorac pseudonym to belong to a male author."-- $c Publisher description. 650 0 $a Authors $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Missing persons $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Edwards, Martin, $d 1955- $e writer of introduction. 941 $a 1 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240502012344.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DD12FA12084B11EFBCAD05DA2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
