Godfrey Rathbone Benson

Robert Driver is temporarily fulfilling the post of parson at Long Wilton, a position he finds tedious in the extreme. But the monotony is relieved in terrible fashion when, one snowy evening, his friend Peters is found murdered at his country house, Grenvile Comb. Driver takes an interest in the case, and when a chance discovery leads him to suspect that the police's suspicions about the culprit's identity may be entirely incorrect, he is determined to see that justice is done. He finds he must proceed with caution, however, if he is to avoid bringing down further tragedy upon himself and his family. 

Originally published in 1906, this vintage detective story will delight all fans of classic crime fiction.
