About This Book
*"Did you hear, during these last few days, any mention from your brother of an animal?"*
*Amazingly, she nodded! "Yes. . . I heard him refer once - to a spiked lion."*
John Pender Blundell, a codebreaker in the Great War, is found dead in Bushey Park. Despite the battered appearance of his body - as if he had been attacked by a savage beast - his death was actually from cyanide poisoning.
A similar death is soon discovered, and then yet another. With no apparent connection, Bathurst finds himself faced with a serious puzzle. How do the events link to the recently returned-from-apparent-death heir to the title of Lord Trensham? And what exactly is the spiked lion?
*The Spiked Lion* was first published in 1933.
