by Julian Symons ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 12, 1967
Timid Arthur Brownlow murdered his wife while he was dressed as the tigerish Major Mellon. His behavior always altered with his costumes and his assumed identities. It was a successful murder, but when a case of accidental death resulted in enough circumstantial evidence to convict him, there wasn't enough left of Brownlow for the police to bring to court... The escape-into-madness story line is familiar, but handled with entertaining assurance for the pleasure of Symons' certain audience.
