Summary
An &“extremely clever&” mystery about a doctor who appears to have fatally injected himself and a dinner party devoted to detection (The Saturday Review). Dr. Richard Mawsley was a happy man and a careful man. So how and why… did the Harley Street specialist inject himself with strychnine while in his locked office? There&’s no hint that anyone else was at the scene, and the guests at Dr. Lancelot Priestley&’s weekly dinner party, including two from Scotland Yard, are determined to figure out what happened. Did he suddenly become despondent, or pick up the wrong bottle? This band of crime-solvers is puzzled indeed, and Priestley is left to wonder if there&’s another possibility beyond accident, murder, or suicide . . . &“A scientist who turns to crime puzzles for recreation . . . The more difficult they are, the better he likes them.&” —The New York Times
