An escaped convict, a mysterious deserted house, and murder in the Lake District..

Classic crime from one of the greats of the Detection Club

The shades of night were falling fast when Arthur Crook drove the old Superb over the Lakeland Fells and into the valley, to stop at a mysterious house where, though a light burned in an upper window, no one answered the bell.

Here opens a double murder mystery in which Crook acts in the defence of a young prisoner on the run, whose guilt appears evident.

'The usual gusto, racy prose, good plotting and up-to-the-minute social observation' Sunday Times
