A wealthy man drops dead on the eighteenth green, without a mark on him, in full view of three witnesses — and the puzzle is off and running. 'Chester K. Steele' was never a real person but a house name of the Stratemeyer Syndicate, the fiction factory behind Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys, applied to adult mysteries written to order. A brisk, competently machined whodunit from the firm that industrialized American storytelling, this edition presents the complete and unabridged novel, newly typeset and illustrated with 34 full-page color plates.
