A strange murder occurs in a New York mansion, and the scene is anything but ordinary: a body found in a circular study, doors locked, clues pointing in contradictory directions. Detective Gryce is once again called to unravel a mystery that weaves together family secrets, coded messages, and a cast of characters each more intriguing than the last. As the investigation deepens, so does the reader's immersion in the social intricacies and emotional tensions that define the author's best work. With masterful plotting and a satisfying denouement, this novel is a standout in the early detective canon.
