Arthur J. Rees

A classic locked room mystery from the genre’s Golden Age by the renowned Australian author of the Chief Inspector Luckraft series.
 
 On the day of his wife’s funeral, Robert Turold reveals that he has completed his lifelong quest to prove his family’s noble blood and restore its barony title. His brother and nephew will be his heirs, skipping over his daughter who he believes is illegitimate due to a deathbed confession from his wife. With the granting of a peerage within his reach, Robert has no qualms involving the neglected girl in public scandal—a turn of events that has left the surviving members of his family reeling.
 
 High on the Cornish cliffs, Robert’s isolated and imposing Flint House proves the perfect backdrop for a mysterious crime, when he’s found shot in a locked room. While first impressions point to suicide, Robert’s sister is convinced he was murdered. Arriving from Scotland Yard, Detective Barrant suspects Robert’s now-missing daughter, who has fled to London.
 
 Mired in past secrets and sins, the case seems to go nowhere and everywhere at once. But the threads of obsession, greed, and revenge will lead to a devious killer, who is soon to be trapped in a web of their own design.

A ghostly Golden Age mystery from the English playwright of The Farmer’s Wife, famously adapted into a silent film directed by Alfred Hitchcock. 
 
 At a house party at Sir Walter Lennox’s estate, the guests are spooked by stories of the manor’s legendary Grey Room, in which two unexplained deaths happened years before. Eager to debunk the room’s sinister reputation, Lennox’s son-in-law decides to spend the night in the abandoned bedchamber, only to be found dead the next morning, the victim of no discernable cause.
 
 But the Grey Room’s hunger has yet to be appeased—and the body count rises. A renowned London detective is determined to unlock the room’s secrets, convinced that the deaths have a very human cause, though not necessarily a sane one. What happens next will throw the estate into hysteria—and reveal the darkest magic from centuries past . . .

The Grey Room

Louis Tracy

A Golden Age mystery featuring Scotland Yard’s formidable detective duo: Chief Superintendent Winter and Inspector Furneaux.
 
 A peaceful night in the small village of Sleaford is disturbed when a local constable is attacked by a mysterious assailant. Soon thereafter, an even worse disaster strikes. Financial magnate Charles Lanson is found dead, stabbed in the library of his nearby castle.
 
 Luckily, Chief Superintendent Winter of Scotland’s Yard Criminal Investigation Department is on the scene, visiting Sleaford on holiday. The shocking murder of the Anglo-Greek banker, who amassed a fortune during the Great War, seems to be an inside job. Calling in Inspector Furneaux for help, the two must root out motive and means from a suspect pool that includes three private secretaries, a daughter prone to trance-like states, and an enigmatic financier. A trail of clues leads Winter and Furneaux from the quaint English countryside into the heart of an international conspiracy that puts millions of dollars—and a kingdom—at stake.
