The Twice-Killed Man

The Earl of Ormond is dead, and everyone knows he was murdered by his wife. The widely-despised Earl — one of England’s renowned fox-hunting men — was shot in his own stable at the end of a long-standing dispute about ‘”animals’ rights.” And the abundance of eye-witness and physical evidence says the Lady did it. Just the sort of open-and-shut case to challenge the formidable skills of the Belle Époque’s greatest detective, Gérard de Montclaire. Follow the French sleuth and his associate, Sir Francis FitzMaurice, as they sift a mountain of evidence, brave the assaults of a ruthless adversary, and endure the emotions of private tragedy, to find a surprising truth.
