Description

Sir Henry Merrivale is tasked with solving a murder at Plague Court, a long-abandoned estate with a notorious history of ghostly apparitions. The victim, a spiritual medium, was found stabbed to death in a locked stone hut on the grounds, surrounded by an untouched circle of mud. With the other guests at Plague Court fearing for their lives, Sir Henry must use his exceptional deductive powers to unravel the seemingly impossible crime scene. In this atmospheric and suspenseful mystery, Sir Henry Merrivale encounters a murder scene unlike any he's encountered before, where every indication suggests supernatural intervention. Reissued for the first time in thirty years, The Plague Court Murders is a masterful example of the "impossible crime" novel, showcasing John Dickson Carr's skill as a master of the genre. 416 pages, paperback.
