The bed was broken and tilted grotesquely sideways. Harrison was sprawled over in a huddle of soiled blankets. His mouth was twisted ...Harrison had been an expert on deadly mushrooms. How was it then that he had eaten a large quantity of death-dealing muscarine? Was it an accident? Suicide? Or murder? The documents in the case seemed to be a simple collection of love notes and letters home. But they concealed a clue to the brilliant murderer who baffled the best minds in London.

From the Publisher:

An expert on fungi is killed by poisonous mushrooms. "An absorbing book . . . much more than a mere mystery story."--New York Times "Entirely satisfying from an intellectual and detective point of view."--The Nation
