It has been nearly a year since I took up my position as curator of Lady Georgiana FowlingΓÇÖs collection of Golden Age of Mystery writersΓÇÖ first editions at her library in Middlebank House.

The bad: although he would not be my firstor even tenthchoiceat the insistence of the board Charles Henry DillLady FowlingΓÇÖs unscrupulous nephewis now my personal assistant.

To further complicate mattersan associate of Mr. AubreyΓÇÖs intends to help us uncover the truth of JohnΓÇÖs story. But before he can do thathe is murdered and the police have reason to suspect Charles Henry. As much as I would like to lock up Charles Henry and throw away the keyI cannot believe he is a killer.
