The Eight of Swords: A Dr. Gideon Fell Mystery Carr John Dickson
In a house in the English countryside, a man has just turned up dead, surrounded by a crime scene that seems, at first glance, to be fairly straightforward. The body is even accompanied by an ostentatious clue, presumably left by the killer: The tarot card of The Eight of Swords, an allusion, perhaps, to justice.But when Dr. He's found with a bullet through the head in an unlocked room, and all signs point to a recent strange visitor as the perpetrator.
Add to that the suggestion of a poltergeist on the property, the appearance of American gangsters, and the constant interruptions of two dabbling amateur sleuths adjacent to the case, and you have a situation puzzling Gideon Fell arrives at the house to investigate, he finds that certain aspects of the murder scene don't quite add up--and that every new piece of evidence introduces a new problem instead of a new solution.
