Murder from superstition. London M.

The famous amateur detective and bibliophile Sir Malcolm Ivori, unexpectedly for himself, is involved in a bloody crime. The book from his library, describing the traditions and rites of Lapland tribes, was found in an abandoned house near the corpse of a young man. The murder is furnished as a ritual one, but Sir Malcolm will still be able to prove that it has absolutely nothing to do with ethnography and magic. Translation from French I.N. Alcheev.
