Description
When Louis Stevenson is found guilty of murder, he leaves the dock loudly proclaiming his innocence. And he delivers, too, a chilling invitation to the four men responsible for his conviction: ‘You four, I summon to meet me at the time appointed, at the Assize of the Dying. ’
The meaning of the sinister words becomes clear almost immediately with two unexpected deaths. And a young couple, convinced that an innocent man has been wrongly condemned, determine to unmask the real murderer—before he strikes again. . .
Murder is committed, too, in ‘Aunt Helen’, a story of blind obsession and psychological suspense that starts with what looks suspiciously like the perfect crime. . .
Two vintage tales of murder most foul from the bestselling pen of Ellis Peters.
