The Judas Window // The Crossbow Murder

H.M. SOLVES AN INCREDIBLE CRIME

Avory Hume is found stabbed to death with an arrow—in a study with bolted steel shutters and a heavy door locked from the inside. In the same room James Caplon Anwell lies unconscious, his clothes disordered as though from a struggle, his fingerprints on the damning arrow.

Her is the unique Carter Dickson "impossible situation"—yet the great, explosive Sir Henry Merrivale gets down to serious sleuthing and at last startles the crowd in the Old Bailey with a reconstruction of the crime along logical, convincing lines.

H.M. in his most exciting case—an original, unconventional mystery, with a rich story background and a thrilling trial scene.
