When Claude Opeirez is found shot outside Mere, the country seat of the Sewell-Forbes family, Philip Morton can't help but think back on the tangled love affairs and threats of blackmail that centred on the dead man, who seemed to find a perverse relish in knowing everyone's secrets. But, of all the people who had a good reason to wish Opeirez out of the way, which of them resorted to murder?
Originally published in 1931, this is a vintage murder mystery from the golden age of crime fiction. George Limnelius was a pseudonym of Lewis George Robinson, who also wrote under his own name. All of Robinson's crime novels are available from Black Heath Editions.
