Description

This book chronicles the early exploits of famous detective John Bartley, including the notorious Underwood case: a locked-room murder that bewilders the police. Bartley is called in to investigate and soon realizes that this case is more complex than it seems. The victim, John Underwood, was a wealthy industrialist with a secret life, and the list of suspects grows as Bartley unravels a tangled web of family intrigue, illicit relationships, and hidden motivations. As Bartley delves deeper into his investigation, he encounters hardened criminals, gambling dens, stolen pearls, and a life insurance policy with a suspicious clause.
