About this book

A doctor answering an urgent call on a fog-bound night loses his way and stumbles into a house where a man lies dying of gunshot wounds. That single wrong turn opens onto a chain of deaths that could each be read as murder, death, accident, or natural cause, giving nine possible combinations, and Sir Clinton Driffield must test every one until only the truth survives. Connington, a chemist by profession, builds the case with the rigor of a laboratory experiment, laying the permutations out plainly for the reader to weigh. First published in 1928, it is often singled out as his cleverest exercise in pure detection.

About the author

J. J. Connington

J. J. Connington was the pen name of Alfred Walter Stewart (1880-1947), a Scottish chemist who taught at Queen's University Belfast and published scholarly work on atomic theory. He is best remembered for his detective fiction, though he also produced this early venture into science fiction and disaster.
