Ninth in the Dr Priestley series by John Rhode (pseudonym of Cecil John Street). > Superintendent King has concluded that the drunk driver with a dead body in his car was only guilty of manslaughter, not intentional murder. But Dr. Lancelot Priestley thinks there’s more to the story - especially considering that the victim’s estate, Pinehurst, has been plagued by burglaries of late. >As he applies his usual scientific rigor to the case, Priestley will be drawn into not one crime but many - and some of them date back years - in this classic British mystery.
