Death Knocks Three Times

Fashions may change in rather a startling way, but Crime Club readers eagerly look forward each season to the New Crook, and here comes Anthony Gilbert again with a diabolically ingenious crime story featuring our favorite criminal lawyer. Arthur Crook gets caught in a violent storm on the moors while visiting a police-spy client. He demands shelter at an isolated house and is grudgingly given it for the night by an eccentric old man who lives there alone with one servant. On Crook's return to town he reads that his reluctant host has been found dead in his bath.
