The Case of the Escaped Wolf Spiders "I must speak with the Doctor urgently -" the voice trailed away, and then returned with compelling intensity. "It's a matter of life and death!""Who is that speaking?" There was no doubting the urgency of this call."This is Professor Howard. Get the Doctor if you can."She heard a banging noise, and the man voice shrieking: "Get away - get away -""Hello! Hello! What is it?" cried Miss Frayle into the mouthpiece."I am being attacked," the man shouted. "I cannot hold them off any longer. I am attacked - by spiders!"So begins one of Doctor Morelle's strangest cases ...Also contains: The Case of the Excentric Mrs Beaumont The Case of the Jeep Driver The Case of the Man Overboard The Case of the Secret Heart The Case of the Perfect Wife

Here is another collection of the strange adventures of Doctor Morelle, that most sardonic of detective characters, in a sequence of eight intriguing episodes from the Doctor's casebook. The Doctor meets both brutal and cunning murders, ranging from a man battered to death with a heavy brass candlestick; a baroness poisoned with cyanide; a diamond robbery, and a strangled film star. The Doctor investigates in his inimitable cerebral style, aided - or handicapped - by his gentle, timorous assistant, Miss Frayle.Contains the stories: Dr Morelle Meets MurderDeath of a BaronessThe Disappearing DiamondsThe Hampstead MysteryThe Hanging GuardianMiss Frayle Works LateThe Man From PrisonThe Strangled Film Sta
