This is a real discovery !!! I found the epub on an old ereader that I received. Never heard about the author, but I like whodunnit and mystery cases, so I thought I might as well go ahead and read it. Fascinating. Really well done, with twists and plot turns all over. Obviously old (five and twenty, really ? :-), but still good. You can find it here: gutenberg.org/ebooks/65553 and I found 3 more by the same author, which I'm downloading as I speak. Recommended.
