A seemingly accidental death. A collection of conflicting documents. And hidden among them is the evidence of murder.
George Harrison dies after eating poisonous wild mushrooms, and everything points toward a tragic accident. But his son refuses to accept the obvious explanation. Letters, statements, recollections, and other documents gradually reveal the complicated relationships surrounding Harrison-along with jealousy, infidelity, deception, and motives that make his death increasingly suspicious.
Written by Dorothy L. Sayers and Robert Eustace, The Documents in the Case is an ingenious Golden Age mystery built around an unusual scientific puzzle. Rather than following a conventional detective, the novel invites readers to examine the evidence themselves, piece together contradictory accounts, and discover how an apparently natural death may conceal a carefully planned murder.
