Description:
The Red Right Hand (American Mystery Classics) Joel Townsley RogersAfter the death of Inis St. Erme, Dr. Henry Riddle retraces the man's final movements, searching for the moment of his fatal misstep. Was it when he and his bride-to-be first set out to elope in Vermont? Or did his deadly error occur later -- perhaps when they picked up the strange, sharp-toothed hitchhiker, or when the three stopped at "Dead Bridegroom's Pond" for a picnic?
As he searches for answers, Riddle discovers a series of bizarre coincidences that leave him questioning his sanity and innocence. After all, he too walked those wild, deserted roads the night of the murder, stranded and struggling to get home to New York City. The more he reflects, the more he comes to doubt his own memories, warped as they are by paranoid fear -- until, in a moment of clarity, a satisfying and carefully clued solution emerges from the nightmare.
