The Turning Sword: A Van Kill Novel of Detection - Paperback

by Spencer Bayne (Author)

"A Van Kill novel of detection, replete with citations in all tongues save Papuan--a flossy, intricate dish for those that have the taste for them. A bit of esoteric erudition headed by the savant sleuth, his Greek helpmeet and the child prodigy. It is all tied up with a magazine chain and a rival organization, with unamerican activities and anti-Semitism. Members of both organizations indulge in murder, blackmail, kidnapping and forgery, and intertwine neatly suspects, victims and criminals." --Kirkus Reviews
