four stories of another brilliant detective, whom the newspapers
have dubbed "The Amazing Martin Brett." Brett appears to be selfish
and lazy, and his effort at solving crimes is entirely motivated by
the size of his fee. His attractive secretary (and narrator) is

THE PROPHET: A MR. BUDD CLASSIC CRIME TALE, by Gerald Verner. The
murder is as impossible as it is horrible. Archeologist Reuben

reveals no hidden panels, so how has the man been killed? A classic
impossible crime novel featuring Verner's most famous detective
