(Collins. 7s. 6d.)-A corpse in clerical attire, with a bullet wound through the head, is found lying on a lonelyrt part of the clfl7s within the estate of Sir Gervase Blount at Four Corners. Innumerable small and apparently irreconcilable clues are found by the Scotland Yard man and by Egerton, the young local Member of Parliament, who engagingly plays the part of amateur detective. Egerton, at last succeeds in fitting the clues into a plausible pattern. But is his interpretation of the crime the correct one, or is it a brilliant tour de force, designed, for reasons of his own, to throw Scotland Yard off the scent ?• The answer to -these- questions should be sough eagerly by readers who, like .$ detective -tale that exercises their wits more than it causes the flesh to creep. .
