A mysterious note, a gun shot and a hidden room all play a part in a death. Was it suicide or murder?
Carlton Davies' faith in Ruth Darwin is unwavering, despite walking in on her standing beside the body of her husband with a gun in her hand - the despised husband who had blackmailed her into leaving Carlton to marry him. The coroner's jury is less forgiving, and Ruth languishes in prison while Carlton turns to 'eminent detective' (NEW YORK TIMES) Graydon McKelvie to help him uncover the real murderer.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Marion Harvey was a Brazilian-born American lawyer who wrote a number of detective novels and plays in the 1920s. A rather elusive figure, he practised law in Ohio before moving to Los Angeles. A discovery of innovative New York publisher, Edward J. Clode (publisher of Armitage Trail's SCARFACE), his 1922 debut novel, THE MYSTERY OF THE HIDDEN ROOM was very well received ('A gripping detective tale' THE DAILY MAIL) and introduced amateur sleuth Graydon McKelvie. Five more novels and two plays followed, with performances of the latter recorded in New York, Alabama and Pennsylvania.
