Behind the yellow blind

Henry Case sat stiffly at his own dining table for nearly two days before his body was discovered. The distinguished diplomat had been shot dead. Who had murdered him? There was certainly no shortage of suspects! Was it Case's wife Moira, who had good grounds to suspect he was having an affair? Was it Case's close friend Dr. Grew, who secretly coveted Moira? Was it Terence Halloran, who had eloped with and married Case's ward Frances Atterbury the day Case was killed? Case and Halloran had also exchanged bitter words the same day. Or was it somebody else? In any case the three main suspects disappeared the day Case was murdered, leaving detectives from Scotland Yard to puzzle over their strange conduct and investigate the terrible murder of a well-respected pillar of society. First published in 1932, *Behind The Yellow Blind* was published in the United States as *Murder At Midnight*.
