Palmer saw him out, and gave that little deprecatory cough. "If you'll pardon me, sir, is it another murder?" "Looks like it," Travers told him from the door. This affair of Ludovic Travers and George "the General" Wharton is packed full with sleuthing excitement, during which three men die, and the careers of four people are ruined before the round-up is accomplished. The leaning man, the kingpin of the plot, meets his death outside a London theatre. Travers soon finds a link between this case and the murder of a Maharajah, and is curious to know why the actor, Sir Jerome Haire, is involved. In finding out, he brings under suspicion Joy and Bernice Haire, Sir Jerome's daughters and music-hall stars in their own right. The travels of a priceless emerald ring add mystery to an already perplexing problem, elucidated by the keen deduction of Ludovic Travers. The Case of the Leaning Man was originally published in 1938. This new edition features an introduction by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans. "Mr. Bush has produced another good detective story, this time with emotional complications such as the experts say should have no place in this type of fiction. But the experts are not always right."--New York Times
