Description
The tower stands alone at the edge of the woods, its stone staircase spiraling upwards to a flat stone roof with a parapet. It is here that the body of Howard Brooke was found, bleeding and dying, with no signs of life nearby. The circumstances of his death are shrouded in mystery, with the only clue being the timing of his discovery by two children.
As the investigation unfolds, it becomes clear that the killer must have been present during the critical minutes leading up to Brooke's death, yet the evidence suggests that no one else was nearby. The case is a complex web of contradictions, with no clear answers in sight.
This gripping mystery, written by John Dickson Carr, is a puzzle that will keep you guessing until the very end. With its intricate plot and atmospheric setting, it is a worthwhile read for fans of traditional mystery and detective fiction.
