About this ebook
Possibly the most unusual mystery ever written. A murder is committed, behind closed doors, in bizarre circumstances. Three amateur detectives take the case: Lord Simon Plimsoll, Monsieur Amer Picon, and Monsignor Smith (in whom discerning readers will note likeness to some familiar literary figures). Each arrives at his own brilliant solution, startling in its originality, ironclad in its logic. Meanwhile Sergean Beef sits contemptuously in the background. "But, " says Sergean Beef, "I know who done it!"

A mischievous dig at three well-known characters in 1930s detective fiction and an intriguing mystery in its own right. Marvellous.
About the author
Leo Bruce was the pen name of Rupert Croft-Cooke, who wrote eight mysteries featuring Sgt. William Beef, a cockney police detective who invariably "knows who done it." He also wrote more than 20 highly praised mysteries featuring Carlous Deene.
