Ex-CID officer John Franklin and the amateur but astute detective Ludovic Travers will need to draw conclusons from a soiled letter, a locked room murder, four cast-iron alibis, and trips to France, in a feverish search for the killer and proof of his misdeeds&mdash,before &lsquo,Marius&rsquo, can strike again.The Perfect Murder Case was originally published in 1929. This new edition features an introduction by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans.&ldquo,All the points of the good detective story are here &hellip, excitement, ingenuity, suspense, crescendo, and a satisfactory conclusion.&rdquo, Observer_,
