The body of a wealthy man is discovered by his valet. The valet hurried to a friend of the dead man to tell him of the tragedy. They return to find the body gone! The motive of the murder becomes a deeper mystery still, and no clue seems to lead anywhere. Little by little, however, evidence is built up round a theory, and clever detective work triumphs in the end.
First published in 1907 as ''2835 Mayfair'' and in 1929 as "The Mayfair Mystery", this historical detective mystery has lost none of its appeal over time, and for ingenuity and dramatic situations is hard to beat.
