'That is the case. Alison has been murdered. His blazing body was
seen running about the battlements of Castle Skull.' And so a dark
shadow looms over the Rhineland where Inspector Henri Bencolin and
his accomplice Jeff Marle have arrived from Paris. Entreated by the
Belgian financier D'Aunay to investigate the gruesome and grimly
theatrical death of actor Myron Alison, the pair find themselves at
the imposing hilltop fortress Schloss Schadel, in which a small
group of suspects are still assembled. As thunder rolls in the
distance, Bencolin and Marle enter a world steeped in macabre
legends of murder and magic to catch the killer still walking the
maze-like passages and towers of the keep. This new edition of John
Dickson Carr's spirited and deeply atmospheric early novel also
features the rare Inspector Bencolin short story 'The Fourth
Suspect'.
