Description:
In These Names Make Clues, E.C.R. Lorac delivers a sophisticated and suspenseful detective story, once again featuring the brilliant Chief Inspector Robert Macdonald. This Golden Age mystery is a clever blend of literary intrigue and deadly deception.
The story begins with a unique and playful setting—a literary treasure hunt hosted by a renowned publisher. Authors and critics, disguised under pseudonyms, gather for an evening of riddles and wordplay. However, the lighthearted festivities take a chilling turn when one of the participants is found dead in what appears to be a tragic accident. But Macdonald, invited as an observer, quickly identifies the subtle clues suggesting murder.
As the investigation unfolds, Macdonald delves into the competitive world of publishing, uncovering professional rivalries, personal grudges, and secrets that cast suspicion on nearly everyone present. With each pseudonym masking an identity, Macdonald must decode the web of names and false fronts to reveal the killer hiding among the literati.
This illustrated edition enhances the atmosphere with evocative artwork, immersing readers in the glamour and shadows of a world where words wield power—and can lead to death.
These Names Make Clues is a masterfully constructed mystery that challenges the intellect and keeps readers guessing until the final reveal. It is a must-read for fans of E.C.R. Lorac’s meticulously plotted whodunits and lovers of classic detective fiction.
