About this ebook
The Round Table Murders, first published in 1931, is a golden-age mystery featuring a band of ruthless brothers in a deadly competition to get their late brother’s fortune. Another player, the mysterious “Poacher,” flits in and out of the picture. Inspector Keating of Scotland Yard is called on to investigate. Peter Baron was the pen-name of Leonard Worswick Clyde (1906-1987) who authored four detective novels.
From the publisher:They were brothers, but they were killers first. They had flouted all the finer feelings, all the decencies, and they did not let brotherly love stand in their way … An attempt to reunite this gruesome brotherhood brings the feud to the death point. The oldest brother, doomed to die, leaves his immense loot to his brothers. But first he hides it, writes the directions down and then tears the paper into four pieces, sending one to each of the brothers. He dies believing that by this means he will bring the brothers peacefully together at last. Instead, each brother strives to collect the missing scraps of paper for himself. The bloody work begins. Inspector Keating of Scotland Yard takes a hand. The terrible Poacher steps in and out as mysterious as a ghost, as deadly as the plague. Who or what is the Poacher? Not even Inspector Keating can tell until—
