My Foe Outstretched Beneath the Tree

The hall porter was not in a position to see. Nor was he likely to remember if anyone was absent in that direction longer than usual. Besides why would anyone be absent longer than usual?€™ The Classic English story of detection makes a welcome comeback with the famous detective Dr R.V. Davie. To enter this world is like settling into a beautiful house, all discreet order and comfort. But a walk outside in the lovely maze might disclose a body, done to death mysteriously and brutally. It is then that Dr. Davie really comes to life. Originally published in 1967
