He's found with a bullet through the head in an unlocked room, and all signs point to a recent visitor as the perpetrator. The body is even accompanied by an ostentatious clue, presumably left by the killer: the Eight of Swords tarot card, an allusion, perhaps, to justice. But when Dr. Gideon Fell arrives at the house to investigate, he finds that certain aspects of the murder scene don't qute add up--and that every new piece of evidence introduces a new problem instead of a new solution. Add to that the suggestion of a poltergeist on the property, the appearance of American gangsters, and the constant interruptions of two dabbling amateur sleuths adjacent to the case, and you have a situation puzzling enough to push Fell's powers of deduction to their limits. But will Fell be able to cut through their distractions and get to the heart of the matter, before more murders take place?" -- Book cover. 650 0 $a Fell, Gideon (Fictitious character) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Tarot cards $v Fiction. 651 0 $a England $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft. 700 1 $a Greene, Douglas G., $e writer of introduction. 830 0 $a Otto Penzler's classic American mystery library. 941 $a 1 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220217011137.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=741004628FBF11ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
