'I hate murders and I hate murderers, but I must admit that the
discovery of a bearded corpse would give a fillip to my jaded
mind.' Vivian Lestrange - celebrated author of the popular mystery
novel The Charterhouse Case and total recluse - has apparently
dropped off the face of the Earth. Reported missing by his
secretary Eleanor, whom Inspector Bond suspects to be the author
herself, it appears that crime and murder is afoot when Lestrange's
housekeeper is also found to have disappeared. Bond and Warner of
Scotland Yard set to work to investigate a murder with no body and
a potentially fictional victim, as E C R Lorac spins a twisting
tale full of wry humour and red herrings, poking some fun at her
contemporary reviewers who long suspected the Lorac pseudonym to
belong to a man (since a woman could apparently not have written
mysteries the way that she did). Incredibly rare today, this
mystery returns to print for the first time since 1935.
