Carpets and floorboards had been ripped up, walls drilled in search of voids, a bowler hat slashed. In the library every single book and every cover had a hole pierced right through it. The mutilated books had been thrown into one corner, the covers into another. In the last seventy-two hours two strangers had demanded from Captain Kennedy a diary belonging to his cousin, the relative who had bequeathed him the house and its contents. But the apparently highly-prised folio was far too large to be hidden in another book or the lining of a bowler hat…And then the murders began.About the AuthorRobert Milward Kennedy was a joint pseudonym used by Milward Roden Kennedy Burge and A.G.
