DEAD BY NOW

C.I.D. Inspector Septimus Finch pursues the high rate of mortality among the ""magnificent Cadells' that follows a family gathering. Phantoms around the derelict, private theatre; a widespread family tree; problems of money and inheritance; three killings; -- and Septimus indulges his passion for delving into past facts, and fancies. The drama, melodrama and deduction politely mixed.
