Begun in 1957, the first two parts of this mystery novel concerning a situation right out of The Hunting of the Snark lay fallow in the papers of Gerald Verner, who died not long after. Then, in 2015, at the instigation of Gavin O'Keefe, who designed the cover, Chris Verner, the son of the author, completed the story. It's an intriguing mystery that takes place in 1935 and features a murderer who seems to be bent on killing as many victims as were killed in the classic book by Lewis Carroll. The unforgettable detective Simon Gale makes his third (and last) appearance.
