Lynne Court Spinney

Dr. Hextall receives a call in the early hours of the morning to attend the beautiful Paquita Tress, who has accidentally wounded herself while attempting to shoot Kesteven, a friend of her brother Darrell. Paquita is convinced that Kesteven is not only a bad influence on her brother, but actively attempting to cheat him of his considerable fortune. When Kesteven is found dead in the spinney ajoining the Tresses' country house, it seems that Paquita was not the only one with a grudge against the man - but was it she who fired the fatal shot? Hextall and his colleagues, the lawyer John Smith and his plucky assistant Styler, set out to dsicover the truth behind the killing.

Originally published in 1916, this vintage British murder mystery will delight all fans of classic crime fiction.
