AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Here is a murder story with a considerable difference— no gore, no thrills, but rather a nice line in deduction and fancy back-chat! In this adventure the two hungry crime experts have a spot of very dirty luck indeed. George has not been called in officially to the case of the late Mrs. Upjohn — he is "doing it as a sort of mental exercise." So, in the privacy of the George Smart Detective Agency, he and Timothy re-enact the case for their own benefit and are just about to offer their solution to the police when news comes. . .. . But this is giving far too much away!'
