Mystery and more mystery

A mysterious knife that does its fatal work without the aid of human hands - a murderer who thinks he is Sherlock Holmes and solves his own crime - an embezzler who hides his stolen money and then finds getting it back again is a life's work - a beautiful woman who enters a house on a snowbound hilltop and impossibly vanishes from human ken - these are only four of the unusual and ingenious stories in this book which will delight all readers who enjoy mystery and suspense. As an added dividend, the author has included a section of Notes at the back, which tell how the stories came to be written and will be of exceptional interest to all students of writing. Altogether, a fitting companion to Robert Arthur's Ghosts and More Ghosts, a very popular book with young readers throughout the country.
