The Diamond Coterie

Lawrence L. Lynch

Sinossi

On a certain Saturday in June, year of our Lord 1880, between the hours of sunrise and sunset, the town of W——, in a State which shall be nameless, received two shocks.
Small affairs, concerning small people, could never have thrown W—— into such a state of excitement, for she was a large and wealthy town, and understood what was due to herself.
She possessed many factories, and sometimes a man came to his death among the ponderous machinery. Not long since one "hand" had stabbed another, fatally; and, still later, a factory girl had committed suicide.

Murder House

Phillip Strang

A corpse in the fireplace of an old house. It's been there for thirty years, but who is it? 
 
 
 
It's clearly murder, and what connection does the body have to the previous owners of the house? 
 
 
 
It was bound to be discovered eventually but was that what the murderer wanted? 
 
 
 
The main suspects are all old and dying, or already dead. There's a motive, but what is it? 
 
 
 
Isaac Cook and his team have their work cut out trying to put the pieces together. Those who know are not talking out of an old-fashioned belief that a family's dirty laundry is not to be aired in public, and certainly not to a policeman—even if that means the murderer is never brought to justice!
