Book Description
MURDERS IN SILK Tie Bixby spots the woman with the red hat getting on the train. But the guy she's trying not to be seen talking to is strictly a lug. After she comes out of the ladies' room and announces that there is a man with his throat cut inside-that same lug-Tie figures she's up to her neck in trouble. That night, while visiting Pa, there is an explosion next door-an inventor is burned to death in the fire-and Tie sees the woman in the red hat fleeing the scene. He could tell the cops about her, but he decides to not to. He decides to play it cagey for awhile, and help her out. There is definitely a mystery here. Why does the inventor's daughter hate him so much? And why is a gangster's lawyer hanging around the scene of the crime? And who is the guy who was murdered on the train? Most importantly of all, what does the woman with the red hat have to do with all of it?

Book Description
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.
