Klappentext

Step back into the glittering world of 1920s New York in The Canary Murder Case, the second thrilling installment in S. S. Van Dine's legendary Philo Vance Mystery series. When a glamorous Broadway starlet-known to her adoring public as "The Canary"-is found brutally murdered in her luxurious apartment, the city is scandalized. Behind the velvet curtains and champagne-soaked nights lies a tangled web of jealousy, blackmail, and betrayal.

Only the brilliant and enigmatic Philo Vance, the most sophisticated sleuth of the Golden Age of Detective Fiction, can unravel the case. With his razor-sharp intellect, unshakable poise, and taste for art and psychology, Vance exposes the secrets hidden among the city's high society and dives deep into a world of shady nightclub owners, desperate lovers, and dangerous ambition.

Brimming with classic noir atmosphere, shocking twists, and a puzzle worthy of the great detective himself, The Canary Murder Case is a cornerstone of the Philo Vance mysteries-a must-read for fans of Agatha Christie, Dashiell Hammett, and Ellery Queen. This gripping whodunit cements S. S. Van Dine as one of the towering figures of American crime fiction.
