Información sobre este eBook
In the dead of a snowy Greenwich Village winter, a gruesome discovery is made in a cheap tenement. A man is found stabbed through the heart. The room’s heavy door is locked and bolted from the inside, the key dropped casually on the floor. The only window is securely fastened from within, looking out over a sheer drop and an empty, untrodden yard. It’s the perfect impossible crime – a murder masterfully disguised as a suicide, executed by a phantom.
The police quickly identify the victim as eccentric millionaire and war hero Vincent Allender. Unconvinced by their investigation, brilliant attorney Robert Ellis takes matters into his own hands and is drawn deeper into the case by Flores Wayne, a beautiful heiress whose tragic past is inextricably linked to the locked room. Ellis soon realises they are hunting a mastermind of chilling ingenuity, and his relentless pursuit takes him far from the icy alleys of New York to the treacherous, bandit-ridden mountains of Mexico.
First published in 1925, Charles Chadwick’s classic mystery blends intricate Golden Age deduction with thrilling international adventure.
