The Queen's Gate Mystery
A house holds secrets within its walls in this Golden Age mystery featuring London lawyer and sleuth Jimmie Haswell from the author of The Crooked Lip.
Newlywed Jimmie Haswell is getting used to married life, when he receives an intriguing letter from a friend. Capt. Gregory Bruden would like to know the legal issues surrounding finding something of value in a deserted house.
Empty for seven years, Queen's Gate was formerly owned by an eccentric old woman, who may have stashed a treasure there before she died. But her demise won't be the last one that the house bears witness to. A bludgeoned body is found there, and it's none other than Captain Bruden.
Trying to bring justice to his friend leads Jimmie and his wife to investigate this action-packed mystery involving a golfer's hole-in-one, a gang of brutal criminals, and an abduction that could put "till death do us part" to the test . . .
