Publisher Description
A second collection of twelve cases for M. McDonnell Bodkin’s insightful but self-deprecating detective Paul Beck, a man who claims no more genius than “a little common sense,” and says of himself that “I just go by the rule of thumb, and muddle and puzzle out my cases as best I can.” Including the disappearance of a millionaire; murders on a golf links and on a train; a fabulous diamond necklace lost in the sea, and the theft of an actress’ rubies; a lucky discovery in a Hansom cab; and a doctor found standing over the dead body of his fiancée’s brother.
