Public libraries are not often thought of as the scene of serious crimes. That is why when the body of a librarian is found strangled in her office with over fifty people just outside in the adjacent reading room, the case attracts so much attention. Yet the crime seems to have no reason, no motive. After all, why would anyone want to kill a sixty year old spinster, particularly in such a public place. With the newspapers clamoring for action, the police chief finds himself turning to his old friend, Harley Manners, professor of abnormal psychology, with the hopes that he can shed light on the mystery of . . . Murder in a Library!
About the Cover
Felicien Rops (1833-1898) was a Belgian artist and printmaker whose works often mingled sex, death and Satanic images. His works are mentioned on a number of occasions in the mysteries featuring Professor Harley Manners, with both the professor and his friend, the gangster Joe Zuko, sharing an interest in the artist. The professor, in particular finds the works intriguing for the insight they provide into the psychology of the criminal mind. We have chosen one of these works, Illustration de livre d’Octave Uzanne, Son altesse la femme, as the cover for this volume.
