A novel by

 
 
Zimony Newman, a suspected German spy, is found murdered in her home at the Melwood, a luxury apartment block. The prime suspects are the three male callers she received shortly before her death - an influential senator, an artist, and an inventor working on secret designs for the U.S. military. But which of these, if any, was responsible for the murder? And what was the reason for the particularly violent way in which Miss Newman was killed, dying of a gunshot wound after initially being stabbed?

Originally published in 1920, this ingenious murder mystery from the golden age of crime fiction will pose a particular challenge for all armchair detectives!
