One of New York City's richest retirees is found dead in his
library, making his family and closest friends the focus of the
investigation. This is a classic case of whodunit that forces the
reader to expect the unexpected. Horatio Leavenworth was a
successful merchant fatally shot in his own home. His murder is
brought to the attention of Inspector Ebenezer Gryce and
Leavenworth's attorney, Everett Raymond. Due to the victim's
wealth, many people stand to benefit from his premature death.
Gryce and Raymond compile a list of suspects, including family
members set to inherit the bulk of the estate. Together, the men
look at the evidence to uncover the identity of the real killer.
The Leavenworth Case is one of Anna Katharine Green's most engaging
novels. It's a realistic detective story filled with complex clues
and nuanced characters. It is a unique mystery where its questions
are just as compelling the answers. With an eye-catching new cover,
and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The
Leavenworth Case is both modern and readable.
