Sinossi

British sleuth Patrick Dawlish discovers that he has a criminal doppelganger in this puzzling thriller from the Edgar Award–winning author.   Ever since Patrick Dawlish and his wife Felicity rented out their place in Surrey and returned to London, they have become partners in their friends’ businesses. Dawlish is now in charge of a curio and antique business in the West End, while Felicity is managing a photographic studio next to their flat. Life has been happy and strangely uneventful. Until now . . .   A beautiful Spanish woman is claiming that Dawlish is her husband. The woman’s brother is claiming that Dawlish sold a fortune in jewels for them. Scotland Yard is claiming that Dawlish has received stolen emeralds—and arrests him. Now it’s up to the beleaguered sleuth to prove he’s not a bigamist or a thief, and to catch the man impersonating him before the peaceful life he’s built comes crashing down around him . . .

    A top ten bestseller of 1906, The House of a Thousand Candles is part adventure/mystery and part romance. The book begins with young Jack Glenarm returning from various exploits in Europe and Africa for the reading of his grandfather’s will. In it, he stands to inherit his grandfather’s estate, but only if he can remain for one year in residence at the old man’s unfinished “House of a Thousand Candles” in Annandale, Indiana, with only his grandfather’s mysterious valet for company. If he violates the terms of the will, the house will go to a young woman, heretofore unknown to him, whom the will also forbids Jack to marry if he wants to retain his inheritance. This all sounds very mundane to Jack and he fully expects to be quite bored in very short order. Soon after Jack’s arrival at Glenarm House, however, various strange occurrences ensue, and he soon finds himself absorbed in the most lively adventure of his life! (summary by J. M. Smallheer)
