Van Dine SS
The Bishop Murder Case: A Philo Vance Story
Charles Scriber's Sons 1929. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. First edition No jacket spine slightly cocked bottom board corners bumped. 1929 Hard Cover. We have more books available by this author!. viii 349 pp. The Bishop Murder Case 1928 is the fourth in a series of mystery novels by S. S. Van Dine about fictional detective Philo Vance. The detective solves a mystery built around a nursery rhyme. The Bishop Murder Case is believed to be the first nursery-rhyme mystery book. The story involves a series of murders taking place in a wealthy neighborhood of New York City. The first murder of a Mr. Joseph Cochrane Robin who is found pierced by an arrow is accompanied by a note signed "The Bishop" with an extract from the nursery rhyme "Who Killed Cock Robin". This crime takes place at the home of an elderly physicist with a beautiful young ward and a private archery range. District Attorney Markham finds the circumstances so unusual that he asks his friend Philo Vance to advise upon the psychological aspects of the crime. Further murders connected with the physicist's family and neighbours are accompanied with similar extracts from Mother Goose such as the case of Johnny Sprigg "who was shot through the middle of his wig wig wig." Midway through the book an elderly woman confesses to the crimes but this possibility is discounted by the police for physical reasons and by Philo Vance for psychological ones. Vance and the police luckily discover the kidnapping and confinement of a little Miss Moffatt before the child suffocates in the closet in which she has been locked. Vance finally realizes the significance of one character's pointed reference to The Pretenders a play written by Henrik Ibsen; Bishop Arnesson of Oslo was a prominent character in the play. Vance arranges a spectacular finale in which the criminal is poisoned by a glass of liqueur which that person prepared for another suspect. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: "S. S. Van Dine was the pseudonym of Willard Huntington Wright October 15 1888 - April 11 1939 a U.S art critic and author. He created the once immensely popular fictional detective Philo Vance who first appeared in books in the 1920s then in movies and on the radio." - Wikipedia Charles Scriber's Sons hardcover
