When the daughter of a country parson goes missing in London, Roger Sheringham receives a letter from her father pleading for help. As the amateur sleuth investigates, he discovers that the girl is already dead, found hanging from a door by her own silk stocking. It is presumed suicide, but when more young women are found dead in the same manner, questions arise. Was it merely copycat suicide, or will the case lead Sheringham into a maze of murder?

The lady--the very rich, very beautiful lady--dazed with sleep, lifted herself on one elbow and pumped two shots at the man in her bedroom door. Later they found her, incoherent with shock, sprawled in the hallway over the pajama-clad body of her dead husband. When they were able to question her, she said she thought she had fired at a prowler who had been terrorizing the neighborhood for the past few weeks. Thus began the Wilson affair, the ten-day sensation that had the press and the nation speculating excitedly over the burning question: Did Irene Wilson shoot her husband to death by accident--or with deliberate intent? It took ten years--and a man in love--to provide the fantastic answer.

A classic Golden Age crime novel, and one of the first to feature a serial killer. Investigating the disappearance of a vicar's daughter in London, the popular novelist and amateur detective Roger Sheringham is shocked to discover that the girl is already dead, found hanging from a screw by her own silk stocking. Reports of similar deaths across the capital strengthen his conviction that this is no suicide cult but the work of a homicidal maniac out for vengeance - a desperate situation requiring desperate measures. Having established Roger Sheringham as a brilliant but headstrong young sleuth who frequently made mistakes, trusted the wrong people and imbibed considerable liquid refreshment, Anthony Berkeley took his controversial character into much darker territory with The Silk Stocking Murders, a sensational novel about gruesome serial killings by an apparent psychopath bent on targeting vulnerable young women.
