by John Dickson Carr ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 18, 1939
Goodish and typical Carr insoluble in this tale of poisoning, with Dr. Fell helping prove the innocence of the accused and tracing the killer. Things are not always what they seem -- such is the backbone of the story, as a wealthy eccentric stages a planned test to prove his thesis, and is killed in the process.
