Title: The Billiard-Room Mystery
Description: *I was awakened by a piercing scream that echoed and re-echoed through the house. It came from the floor below!
“Murder! Murder! Help! Help! Murder!”*


The setting is Considine Manor in Sussex, where Sir Charles is holding his annual Cricket Week. But the house-party is marred by the discovery of a dead body in the billiard room, not to mention the fact that Lady Considine’s pearls have been stolen. Can Inspector Baddeley catch the criminal, or will it take the super-sleuth Anthony Lotherington Bathurst to discover the diabolical truth?
