The Case of the Painted Ladies: An Anthony Bathurst Mystery - Paperback
by Brian Flynn (Author)
"I cannot tell you of your future - because there is no future for you."
Three remarkable things happen to Aubrey Coventry in one day. First, he is contacted by Wall Street financier Silas Montgomery with a lucrative business proposition - although Montgomery insists on meeting him at two a.m. the following day. Second, at a village garden party, a fortune teller cannot read his future, as he does not have one. And thirdly, a shabbily-dressed man reacts with a vicious snarl when simply asked for a light.
The fortune teller is proven correct when Coventry is found dead in his office the next morning. Private Detective Anthony Bathurst finds himself on the trail of the snarling man, reported to have been following Coventry in the night. To unmask the culprit, however, Bathurst is going to need help from some very special friends . . .
The Case of the Painted Ladies was first published in 1940. This new edition features an introduction by Steve Barge.
