Club of Masks - Бесплатная аудиокнига

It was far from a simple case of opium poisoning — the affair at the Domino Club. Zenobia Salome, the Leopardess, whichever of those silk masked revelers killed Dr. Weathered, had knowledge of a poison new even to Sir Frank Tarleton, the expert. And whoever stole the doctor's case book, stole no ordinary physician's record book but a terrible weapon to hold over the heads of London society. Here is a very ingenious detective story with a psychoanalytical slant, reveling the terrible use that can be made of the secret inclinations gnawing at the hearts of men. Uniquely, it is told by one who has played an actual part in crime, but who, page by page, betrays only as much as circumstances force from him. This unusual method keeps the tension of interest running high and deepens the mystery for even the most astute of detective-story readers. - Summary from the book jacket
