Описание:
Michael Dundas, who combines a flair for detective work with amazing success as a couturier, delves into a mystery with roots laid three generations in the past. The Landreth family closet undoubtedly held a skeleton along with the rest of the old things found in it, just as the envelope with the cryptic figures on it carried the motive, method and solution of the lucky lady's murder. How did two feathers from that same lady's hat land in an unused garden, and what, above all, was the antique Dubosq which started the whole chain of murders? Virginia Rath has based her story on an unusual and fascinating episode in the development of American economic life. The author, in a modern, entertaining story has used facts to give body and color to fiction, a clever feat and extremely well done.
Death of a Lucky Lady was published in 1940.

Описание:
Sapphira Barlow started life as one of Madame Sophie's girls, but at seventy, after many vicissitudes, she was a revivalist of shadowy reputation. At her Coon Hollow camp in the California mountains she had gathered her Satellites about her to await the end of the world, at 3:45 a.m., Pacific Standard Time, August 26. Into this weird and fanatical group comes Rocky Allan with that engaging redhead, Eleanor, his wife. They have been summoned to the camp by their lean, saturnine friend, Theophilus Pope, who rightly suspects that murder, and not the Judgment Day, is the menace threatening the camp.
The first to meet death is the potbellied and dour Rev. Saul Cheney, former side-show barker. Then, on the morning of August 26, Sapphira is found strangled, with a card reading "The Day of Judgment has come" in her lap. And Rocky, in the remote fastness of the California mountains, with no criminological accessories at hand, is confronted with one of the most baffling crimes human ingenuity could evolve.
Murder on the Day of Judgment was published in 1936.

Описание:
This fifth case in the career of Rocky Allan, homespun sheriff who has found great favor both with readers and reviewers, opened one rainswept night when Rocky encountered a drenched stranger who asked him the way to Brookdale's only hotel. The stranger, with a phony English accent, parted from Rocky with the cryptic sentence, "Has it occurred to you, Mr. Allan, that it's an excellent night for murder?"
About noon the following day the stranger's words were found to be prophetic when the man was discovered shot to death in his room at the hotel. The great surprise came when it was discovered that the stranger was in some way connected with the Graydons. As Rocky's deputy exclaimed, "The Graydons--there's got to be some mistake " "Yeah, I know, the royal fam'ly of Brookdale. Sanctified and sacred," Rocky drawled. "But just why it's got to be a mistake is somethin' you'll have to explain to me; carefully, and in words of one syllable."
He found the Graydon clan close-mouthed, deceptive, and obviously eager to cover up their relationship with the murdered man. Despite their reluctance to have anything to do with the truth, Rocky's investigation finally brought to light the maid who had been fired for "hearing ghosts", and the "few odds and ends" which gave the original impetus to a series of murders which would never have been consummated had it not been for a newspaper story. In the end, with the aid of a fake phone call and a fresh bruise, Rocky was able to reveal a completely unexpected murderer.
An Excellent Night for Murder was published in 1937.

Описание:
In this book the author of Death at Dayton's Folly and Murder on the Day of Judgment has done for the small-town high school what Dorothy Sayers did for Oxford's woman's college in Gaudy Night.
Once again the amiable and homespun Rocky Allan, aided and abetted by his red-haired wife Eleanor, is featured in this tale dealing with the stabbings of a local Don Juan and Circe. The trouble began at a charity dance given at the Merton High School gymnasium. During that time the many hatreds and antipathies which flowed beneath the apparently calm surface of the social life of the families of the high-school faculty were revealed.
And on the morning following the dance the town awoke to a shocking tragedy. A dual stabbing had occurred during the night, and in the mouth of the murdered high-school teacher was discovered an old coin dated 1565 and bearing the Latin inscription, "Whom God hath joined, let no man put asunder." Rocky, with only this amazing modern example of Charon's fare to guide him, undertook the investigation. He found, that a terrifically tangled web of enmities, violent emotions and cross-purposes involved the whole high-school faculty. He also learned of the three colored bibelot cats, at least two of which were associated with the murder. He further learned of a stolen kitchen knife, and was heard to remark, "Nothing happened. People did a lot of talking. About divorces, purses and the smell of onions." But perhaps in the end he received his greatest assistance in solving the case from Mary of Scotland and Henry Darnley.
This is not only an engrossing mystery story, but Mrs. Rath has constructed a solid background which gives her book much of the quality of a straight novel. She has taken her own intimate knowledge of backstage life in a typical American high school and worked it into her story in a way to give an almost unique picture of this little-discussed phase of American social life.
Ferryman, Take Him Across was published in 1936.

Описание:
When Kitty Featherstone-Quinn tired of writing "At Kitty's Advice to the Lovelorn" she took the money she had saved and bought a resort hotel in Gold Gulch, a "ghost" mining town. Her arrival in the Gulch precipitated an outlay of ghostly manifestations and bell ringing. Convinced that there was a plot to run her out of the neighborhood, she appealed to Rocky Allan, the local sheriff. Rocky visited Kitty's El Dorado Inn in time to meet the strange group of bohemian characters there assembled and in time to witness a fire which left in its ashes only two sets of false teeth to account for the missing Quinn brothers. Rocky also discovered the evidence of the mysterious midnight shave, the "white stone," the lost china brooch, and the mystery of the tolling bells. Finally, in exasperation, he turned a bell to his own advantage and with the aid of some pink and yellow embroidered roses solved a baffling murder.
This is the most ingenious of all Mrs. Rath's stories, and it is peopled with thoroughly delightful and entertaining characters. The reader will not soon forget Mary Anne and her malapropisms, Dad Allan who put on his fancy boots to go gunning, Olivia James who had her face slapped, or the garrulous Kitty Featherstone-Quinn. This book is particularly recommended to the reader who likes his mystery story to possess some of the substantial qualities of a novel of character.
The Anger of the Bells was published in 1937.

Описание:
Virginia Rath has, in the character of Michael Dundas and his wife Valerie, created as intriguing a couple as have appeared between the covers of a mystery story since the now historic The Thin Man. And Death Breaks the Ring is another step upward in Mrs. Rath's steady climb to the top of the mystery field.
In this story Valerie's plaguing and persistent desire to see more and better mountain scenery involves Michael in a chain of murder that leads from a mountain-resort hotel to a dramatic conclusion at a fantastic costume party on a California ranch. Michael had no difficulty in ascertaining that both murders were the result of involved relationships existing between three San Francisco families. That was apparent. But the antagonism of these families created an impregnable wall through which he could not penetrate. When, however, he had interpreted the cryptic message on the sheet of paper attached to the three fishing flies, he had made the first small gap in a wall which was eventually to crumble at his feet. His interpretation of this message, plus his psychological understanding of the irrational behavior of people in love, were the means whereby Michael in the end brought to heel a murderer who was tangible proof of the trite remark that all is not what it seems.
The amazing conclusion of this story is only one of the many features of an engrossing and puzzling book--a "must" item for every mystery fan.
Death Breaks the Ring was published in 1941.

Описание:
The main action of this mystery occurs in a small apartment house, which has apartments for only six families. Of necessity these people are clearly acquainted, and an epidemic of fear runs through them all as some unknown poison pen writer with an amazing knowledge of the skeletons in all six family closets, begins a steady campaign that neglects no one in the building except Michael Dundas, the enigmatic newest occupant--a campaign climaxed by the murder of Maxine Farley, who before going to meet her murderer, had drawn a sketch of a man in the fanciful court costume of Charles the first, leaving the face blank. The sketch bore the caption in Maxine's handwriting: "Death comes at last, like a dark cavalier."
It was Michael Dundas who discovered some of the details of Maxine's relations with men and interpreted he wording of a telegram in an original manner. He also learned of an old hotel key, but not in time to prevent a whining dog from leading him to a second murder--a murder which was indirectly to cause the killer's undoing.
In this book Virginia Rath has again demonstrated her splendid ability to create plots which depend upon character rather than a mechanical formula. Her people are real people; their problems and fears are genuine. Here is a plausible, realistic mystery story which should please even the most fastidious reader.
The Dark Cavalier was published in 1938.
