Sinopsis

&ldquo,Nobody would have murdered him,&rdquo, Miss Lavinia cried. &ldquo,Everybody liked John!&rdquo, &ldquo,I&rsquo,m afraid it is evident that someone did not.&rdquo, The note left beside Dr. John Bastow',s corpse simply read: It was the man with the dark beard. Dr. Bastow hadn',t approved of his daughter Hilary',s fiancé. So when Hilary',s father is found shot dead inside his own office, the door-key turned from the inside, the fiancé Basil Wilton becomes a chief suspect for Scotland Yard. Yet how could the crime have been engineered? Now an important lacquered box is missing, a former colleague of Bastow',s has suddenly shaved his beard, and the doctor',s ex-secretary has come mysteriously into money. Before Inspector Stoddart of the Yard can form conclusions, another murder takes place, again credited to the &ldquo,Man with The Dark Beard&rdquo,... The Man With the Dark Beard is the first of Annie Haynes&rsquo, Inspector Stoddart mysteries, originally published in 1928. It is a sparkling lost classic from the early golden age of crime fiction. &ldquo,This is the best detective story she has yet written.&rdquo, Time and Tide.
