THE HEADLESS LADY

Clayton Rawson

  THE HEADLESS LADY (1940) is the third Great Merlini novel in the series that started with DEATH FROM A TOP HAT (1938), followed by THE FOOTPRINTS ON THE CEILING (1939) and ending with NO COFFIN FOR THE CORPSE in 1942. He also wrote DEATH OUT OF THIN AIR in 1947 under the pseudonym, Stuart Towne. Ramble House is proud to bring the four Merlini books back for modern readers. Their blend of magic lore and logical detective work has never been matched and you learn about historical legerdemain at the same time you’re enjoying a rousing “impossible” mystery. With Gavin O’Keefe’s beautiful new cover art the new Ramble House editions will be the centerpiece of your vintage library.
