Eames-Erskine Case

The Eames-Erskine Case, first published in 1925, is a classic British 'golden-age' murder mystery, and introduces the character of Scotland Yard's Chief Inspector Pointer, the first of two dozen novels featuring the Chief Inspector. From the dustjacket: "e;The publication of this first novel by A. Fielding marks the advent of a new star in the field of mystery-story writing. From the discovery of the strangled, still-warm body of Reginald Eames in a hotel wardrobe, until all of the multitudinous mysteries in connection with the case are finally unraveled in one of the most startling denouements in modern fiction, the author displays the touch of the born writer of mystery stories."e;
