Viaduct
by Ronald Arbuthnott Knox
Category: Fiction

Marryatt (the clergyman), Carmichael (the retired don), Reeves (the former member of the military intelligence), and Gordon (the vacationing golfer) are playing golf in Paston Oatvile when Reeves slices his drive from the third tee. In searching for the ball they come upon the dead body of Mr. Brotherhood below the railroad viaduct. When they find his hat 15 yards away from the body they suspect 'there’s been dirty work'. The foursome set out to solve his murder. Father Knox has provided us with a witty, clever, and thoroughly delightful, classic British mystery story.
