Description
Mr. Connington's wireless detective, The Counsellor, matches wits with a murderer who has planned a veritable Maginot Line of defences to screen his guilt. First: The corpse in the burning car--unrecognizable itself--would be identified and a verdict of suicide reached. Second: If there should be a suspicion of murder, the murderer would not be identified. Third: If actually brought to trial he could prove that his crime was not that with which he was charged. Fourth: Should his guilt be later discovered, the murderer could still beat the law--which says that one cannot be twice put in jeopardy for the same crime! How the Cousellor knifes straight through to the fourth line of defence, by cunning use of evidence, forms an enthralling mystery that ties together as neatly as the pieces of a picture puzzle. See if you can beat him to the solution! The Four Defences was published in 1940.
