The Wedding-Chest Mystery (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

It was to be a fitting centerpiece of the Chinese themed suite in the new home of the financier, Boyd Armstrong, an ornate Chinese wedding chest, a gift of the explorer Major Hardy. When the chest is opened at the party held for the unveiling of the chest, to the surprise and horror of all those in attendance, the chest was found to contain the body of their host, victim of a gunshot to the head. Chief Inspector Pointer is promptly called in, but he finds himself presented with a baffling puzzle. Not only must he discover who amongst the many suspects killed Armstrong, he must first discover where he was killed, and how (and why) his body came to be placed in the wedding chest when the chest was either under observation or within the locked suite the entire time. The Wedding-Chest Mystery is one of the most intriguing of the Inspector Pointer mysteries.
