The Curved Blades

One night before Lucy Carrington's death in her Garden Steps estate in Long Island, surrounded by some guests such as her beautiful niece, her cousin, her finances accountant, the suspicious maid, a mysterious 'count' and even the strange neighbor, it becomes clear what kind of woman Lucy is and no wonder she dies in the early hours of the morning. At first glance it appears to be a murder by a blow to the head, but the autopsy tells a different story. With so many possible suspects and to the dismay of even the police, the only one who seems to be able to solve the case is Detective Fleming Stone, a great professional who will, however, lose his head over the main suspect... This is 'Curved Blades', a thriller with a romantic twist.
