“The perfect sleuth for Jazz Age New York” — CrimeReads
“With his highbrow manner and his parade of encyclopedic learning, Philo Vance is not only a detective; he is a god out of the machine” — The New York Times
A series of gruesome murders has left the glittering world of Jazz Age Manhattan in shock.
When Cock Robin is found dead with an arrow through his chest, New York''s DA calls in amateur detective and professional flâneur Philo Vance to solve the case. But this mystery proves to be more challenging than Vance could have imagined, and a cunning presence seems to be constantly one step ahead of him. As Vance investigates, more gruesome murders occur, and a sinister pattern begins to emerge: each perverse death is staged to represent a line from a nursery rhyme.
In an even more disturbing twist, after each murder, the perpetrator sends a note to the press, signed simply ''The Bishop.'' As more deaths go unsolved, the murderer’s hubris grows, and each act is more brazen than the last. Vance must move quickly to stop the Bishop''s bloody spree among the upper echelons of New York society.
Set against the glittering backdrop of Jazz Age Manhattan with a distinctive and erudite detective, this is considered one of the great classic detective stories. This intricate and skillfully crafted murder mystery is sure to delight any armchair detective.
