Murder as an art gets an artful turn as the scene is set for a perfect murder. Not to Mr. Fathom's liking is the three months' old killing of ex barrister, Sir Derek Livingstone, in which Roger Hope has been acquitted, but, in spite of Hope's death, he carries on to satisfy the members of the Beverley Club, crime connoisseurs. Three women, exploding alibis, and a topsy turvy for a solution. Nimble.
