Ordeal by Innocence

Beschreibung

According to the courts, Jacko Argyle bludgeoned his mother to death with a poker. The sentence was life imprisonment. But when Dr. Arthur Calgary arrives with the proof that confirms Jacko’s innocence, it is too late—Jacko died behind bars following a bout of pneumonia. Worse still, the doctor’s revelations reopen old wounds in the family, increasing the likelihood that the real murderer will strike again.

Rezensionen

'Family tensions and suspicions are adroitly handled, and the solution is characteristically surprising'
New York Times

'Has the particular distinction of presenting a new temporary detective in place of Poirot or Miss Marple.'
