Description
A unique collaboration from the Detection Club, this 1931 novel brings together nine crime writers to create a fiendishly clever and complex mystery. When a rowing boat containing a fresh corpse is discovered in a seaside town, Inspector Rudge's investigation is hindered by withholding information and a missing niece. As he delves deeper into the case, he begins to suspect that multiple people may be involved and that nothing is as it seems. The novel features contributions from some of the most renowned crime writers of the time, including Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, and G.K. Chesterton. The book's unique structure, with each author writing a chapter and providing their own solution in a sealed envelope, adds to its intriguing nature.
