Short Mystery Story
Collection
The Benevolent Banker
and Other Enigmas
John Light
In the Enigma of the
Benevolent Banker, the eponymous character
having become widely known for his charitable donations disappears
during a garden party at his country home; a series of apparently
ritualistic murders occurring on both sides of the Anglo-Scottish
border brings terror to the wild beauty of the region in The Fiend of
Far Fell; the terrible secret of a reclusive member of a tiny
religious
community reveals anguish on a remote island in the Western Isles in
The Enigma of Sister Sophia;
and the curious theft and return of a
mysterious painting in Peril in a
Painted Garden leads to the discovery
of a sinister political conspiracy.
In this third collection of stories, Alexander Dunkley chronicles
further consequences of the restless curiosity of his friend Hugo
Lacklan.
