Description
A Golden Age mystery set in the world of science fiction. When Hilary Faulkes, the greedy heir to the estate of legendary author Fowler Faulkes, is stabbed nearly to death, Detective Terry Marshall and his assistant Sister Ursula are tasked with uncovering the identity of the killer. As more potentially-fatal encounters follow, they must delve into the strange and idiosyncratic world of science fiction in its early days to prevent further deaths. The case requires a deep understanding of the writing community at the time, including the relationships between authors such as Robert Heinlein, L. Ron Hubbard, and Jack Parsons. With characters based on real-life figures, Rocket to the Morgue is a gripping locked room mystery that offers a unique glimpse into the lives of science fiction writers. Reprinted for the first time in over thirty years, this book is a worthwhile read for fans of mysteries and science fiction alike.
