Inhaltsangabe

One of the greatest locked-room murder mysteries of all time, hailing from 1938, returns to baffle a new bevy of armchair detectives. James Answell, visiting his father-in-law Avery Hume in his locked study, has the misfortune to wake up from a drugged-Whisky swoon to find his host dead, skewered with an arrow. He is, of course, prime suspect. After setting up this devilish scenario, unravels an ingenious courtroom thriller, in which the razor-sharp amateur detective (and barrister) Sir Henry Merrivale stars in all of his outlandish glory - and the mystery of the 'Judas Window' is revealed.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Carter Dickson is a pseudonym of John Dickson Carr (1906-1977) who was a hugely popular author of crime fiction renowned for his fiendish puzzles. Born in Pennsylvania, USA, Carr developed a distinctly 'British' style to his mystery writing from his time living in England and became one of only two Americans ever admitted to the Detection Club.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Often cited as the epitome of locked-room mysteries, featuring Carter Dickson's signature flair for jaw-dropping twist after twist, especially in the novel's thrilling courtroom section. The Judas Window adds another Merrivale classic to the series, following the immensely popular The White Priory Murders and The Ten Teacups.
