The Gilded Man
John Dickson Carr
H.M. and the Masked Death.
There
were only two guests at the Stranhope mansion. Vincent James was a
weekend perennial - charming and a little thick. Nick Wood, the other
guest, was undoubtedly attractive, but it was odd that no one knew
anything else about him. It was odd too that the fabulous Stanhope
paintings had been moved from the burglarproof gallery to the main
floor. And the Stanhope daughters had the jitters.
Then, late at
night, came a frightful noise - and a masked man was found on the dining
room floor, stabbed by a long, thin fruit knife. That was how things
stood when crusty, uproarious, irrepressible H.M. arrived on the scene.
From
then on things moved as only H.M. can make them move - at break-neck
speed - with mystery, humor, terror, and a hair-raising climax that
revealed the master hand of a killer.
