The case of The Silken petticoat

Sinopse

Ludovic Travers saw it happen. He saw a strange young woman assault the great Clement Foorde, and all because Foorde had expressed his dislike for a certain best-selling novel. Was it a publicity stunt? Travers wondered, but then the matter went out of his mind until he heard on the radio one night that the author of the novel in question had been drowned in a Sussex river. Everyone, including the police, thought the affair to be no more than a tragic accident; everyone except the dead man's brother, who came to see Travers at the Broad Street Detective Agency with a piece of information that placed the Case of The Silken Petticoat in an entirely new light. Christopher Bush again proves himself a master of the true detective story and provides plenty of hard thinking and fast action before a solution is reached.
