Superintendent Wilson thought he was in a cul de sac! Having been called to Middlebury to investigate the disappearance of Elinor Symonds' necklace, he arrives only to find that it has been returned as mysteriously as it went. He goes back to Scotland Yard but in a few days he sees that his cul de sac is rather an avenue leading to one of the most amazing murders in his career. The body of a clergyman is found in the garden of the Chief Constable's house, and the police are faced not with the problem of finding a clue, so much as with finding the right clue out of the many provided-a revolver with all its chambers full, a small bottle of poison, a chloroform-soaked handkerchief, a cigar stump and a visiting card!
Corpse in Canonicals was published in 1930. This reprint includes bibliographic introduction by Curtis Evans.
