    “Book Descriptions: A murder in the mountains is the latest case for the Manhattan detective famed for his “highbrow manner and parade of encyclopedic learning” ( The New York Times ).

    Wealthy and worldly-wise detective Philo Vance has been asked to keep watch at a house party in the snowy Berkshires of western Massachusetts, where he encounters an assortment of guests ranging from a treasure hunter to a race car driver. The owner of the house doesn’t quite trust his son’s friends—and is worried about the security of his precious emeralds. Sure enough, a guard is soon killed, the jewels are stolen, and then another guest dies, leaving Vance to make some cold calculations about who turned this gathering from festive to fatal . . .

    “Mr. Van Dine’s amateur detective is the most gentlemanly, and probably the most scholarly snooper in literature.” — Chicago Daily Tribune

    “The best of the American mystery men.” — The Globe”
