Yet in this room murder was committed and in some manner the murderer contrived to escape.The occupants of the house were a curious collection of people. The ownerÑa rich man who ran a club for ex-criminals; his beautiful but mysterious sister, a big bruiser named Storey and a cook who obviously knew more than she was willing to tell, are among the chief characters.The unravelling of the threads leading to the murder is cleverly and neatly carried out, and the surprise ending makes a fitting conclusion to a most readable and exciting novel.
