IN COURT. By Fred Andreas. (Bles. 7s. 6d.)—Kaska the singer

was accused of the murder of Professor Drau, an equivocal gentleman whose character was an odd blend of erudition and eroticism. The key to the situation appeared to be Jessie Zander, who was known to be Kaska's mistress, and who turned out to be in addition the daughter of the Public Prosecutor. An ingenious but uninspired book.
