Description
A murder in the English countryside seems straightforward, but a tarot card clue at the scene suggests otherwise. Dr. Gideon Fell's investigation is complicated by a series of puzzling events, including a poltergeist, American gangsters, and amateur sleuths who keep interrupting his work. Can Fell cut through the distractions and uncover the truth before more murders take place? This early novel by John Dickson Carr features his signature baffling plots, twisty investigations, and memorable characters. The Eight of Swords is the third installment in the Dr. Gideon Fell series, which can be read in any order. Reissued for the first time in years, this book offers a glimpse into Carr's writing style and the qualities that made him a successful writer.
