ROGER SHERINGHAM'S MOST FAMOUS CASE. In 1920s London, six members of the Crime Circle set out to solve a murder that has baffled Scotland Yard. Equipped with all of the facts, as told to them by Chief Inspector Moresby, club president Roger Sheringham and his armchair detectives pool their collective talents to formulate theories about the death of Mrs. Joan Bendix by nitrobenzene poisoning. Over six successive nights, each member puts forward a plausible theory, but will any of them be able to reveal the truth?

"Anthony Berkeley is the supreme master not of the `twist' but of the `double-twist'." --The Sunday Times
A well-known classic from the Golden Age of detective fiction.
This novel is an expanded version of Berkeley's short story, "The Avenging Chance," which also appeared in 1929. In both stories the same murder case is solved - but in the novel, the solution from the short story is one of the theories discarded as false.
