Here is another collection of the strange adventures of Doctor Morelle, that most sardonic of detective characters, in a sequence of eight intriguing episodes from the Doctor's casebook. The Doctor meets both brutal and cunning murders, ranging from a man battered to death with a heavy brass candlestick; a baroness poisoned with cyanide; a diamond robbery, and a strangled film star. The Doctor investigates in his inimitable cerebral style, aided - or handicapped - by his gentle, timorous assistant, Miss Frayle.
