It is a murder problem placed in a special, closed and intrinsically interesting setting--in this case, the ingrown community of a Cathedral Close. It is filled with riddles, mystifications and deceptions, yet it never departs from the rules of fair-play evidence. From poison-pen letters to clues embdedded in crossword puzzles, it employs a whole conjuror's bag of tricks expressly designed to baffle and fascinate the reader.\" --Jacket copy. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gilbert, Michael Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46984060961026,"sku":"104775","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0675\/4412\/1602\/files\/104775.jpg?v=1762225875","url":"https:\/\/bibliope.com\/products\/close-quarters","provider":"Bibliope","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
