John Dickson Carr: Castle Skull, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A man engulfed in flames runs across the battlements of a sinister castle above the Rhine-and plunges to his death.

The victim is actor Myron Alison, and the setting is Castle Skull, the extraordinary fortress once owned by a famous magician. Henri Bencolin arrives to investigate and finds himself surrounded by theatrical personalities, old secrets, conflicting stories, and an atmosphere seemingly designed to make murder look supernatural.

Dark, ingenious, and steeped in Gothic menace, Castle Skull combines the intricate puzzle of a Golden Age mystery with the lurid atmosphere of a nightmare. John Dickson Carr turns castles, magic, fire, and deception into an elaborate challenge for both detective and reader.
