The Clue of the Dead Hand

”The Clue of the Dead Hand” novela features detective Peter Brodie and has a Scottish setting. It tells of a murder and a simultaneous mysterious disappearance at Corbie Hall, „a strange, weird sort of place…” that has „an eeriness about it… calculated to make one shudder.” As much a rationalized ghost story as a detective story, it also involves male impersonation.
