COMES A STRANGER

&ldquo,You see,&rdquo, Miss Kayne said, &ldquo,I committed a murder once myself.&rdquo, Miss Kayne&rsquo,s proud boast to Detective-Sergeant Bobby Owen is that she has committed the Perfect Murder &ndash, a crime with no clues. Bobby thinks at first it is a macabre joke, but before long a body is reportedly found, stabbed in the world-famous Kayne Library. When Bobby gets to the scene, the corpse has disappeared. But instead Miss Kayne&rsquo,s cousin, Nat, is found in a nearby country lane &ndash, shot through the heart. Were the two murders connected &ndash, or were there even two? Bobby finds himself embroiled in one of the most ingenious and sinister cases of his career. Can he prove this was not a case of Perfect Murder? Comes a Stranger, originally published in 1938, is the eleventh novel in the Bobby Owen mystery series. This new edition features an introduction by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans. &ldquo,What is distinction? The few who achieve it step &ndash, plot or no plot &ndash, unquestioned into the first rank&hellip, in the works of Mr. E.R. Punshon we salute it every time.&rdquo, Dorothy L. Sayers_,
