Luffham was murdered!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFerdinand Pole of the Murder League claims that, since 1918, thirteen murders have been committed on a Monday. A sleazy economist has now been slain, followed the next week by a blameless actress—both on Monday. While the press have a field day, it is up to Inspector Wharton of Scotland Yard, along with his inspired amateur co-investigator Ludovic Travers, to see if London has a new Jack the Ripper at work. The eccentric parrot-owning Pole seems to be out to implicate himself in the murders, though whether this is bravado or fact remains very much in question . . . This sly, often satirical, whodunit shows a master of classic mystery on top form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Case of the Monday Murders\u003c\/em\u003e was originally published in 1936.
