Rear board soiled pencil underlining and marginalia pencil names on front endpapers. 1929 Hard Cover. viii 349 pp. After solving the Greene murders Philo Vance has taken a well-earned holiday in Switzerland. Returning to New York City he finds his old chum District Attorney Anthony Markham up against a bizarre series of murders inspired by children’s nursery rhymes. The first murder involving a beautiful young woman and a private archery range was apparently based on “Who Killed Cock Robin'”; it is followed by more hideous deaths referencing “Mother Goose.” But Philo Vance is not a man to be fobbed off with points to juvenilia. Markham and his colleagues may be worried that a certain Mr. H. Dumpty is riding for a great fall but Philo Vance suspects a connection to a rather more sophisticated writer. In this “classic detective novel . . . a splendid example of the form . . . the game is played full out and to splendid effect” Mystery File. Grosset & Dunlap hardcover books
