{"product_id":"the-bishop-murder-case-a-philo-vance-story-4","title":"The Bishop Murder Case: A Philo Vance Story","description":"viii, 349 pp. After solving the Greene murders, Philo Vance has taken a well-earned holiday in Switzerland. Returning to New York City he finds his old chum, District Attorney Anthony Markham, up against a bizarre series of murders inspired by children’s nursery rhymes. The first murder, involving a beautiful young woman and a private archery range, was apparently based on “Who Killed Cock Robin'”; it is followed by more hideous deaths referencing “Mother Goose.” But Philo Vance is not a man to be fobbed off with points to juvenilia. Markham and his colleagues may be worried that a certain Mr. H. Dumpty is riding for a great fall, but Philo Vance suspects a connection to a rather more sophisticated writer. In this “classic detective novel . . . a splendid example of the form . . . the game [is] played full out and to splendid effect” (Mystery File).","brand":"Grosset \u0026 Dunlap","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41169938055238,"sku":"2342168","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/products\/2342168.jpg?v=1709935245","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/the-bishop-murder-case-a-philo-vance-story-4","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
