Late at night in the Senior Common Room of St Thomas’s College, Ernst Brendel is persuaded by his companions to relate a tale of murder, blackmail, and corruption. A wager is made, half a crown to the first person to guess the murderer correctly. But the game is not so simple. The crime involves four friends, each with the potential to be the murderer – or the victim.
First published in 1953, The Case of Four Friends explores a world of calculation, wit, and marvellous deduction.
