‘The Third Case’ as described by the publisher - “To Sylvester Paradene, eccentric and sinister millionaire, the 'Sport of Kings' was a manhunt, with the criminal, preferably a murderer, doubling and twisting in his efforts to elude the hounds of the law, and with Mr. Paradene, chuckling, looking on. So, to an isolated mountain mansion in California Mr. Paradene invited a group of potential 'hunted' and two 'hunters' – Paul Savoy and Detective Gateway.
Then Mr. Paradene baited his delightful trap with a $50,000 emerald, and waited. He was looking for murder and he got it, three-fold but neither Paradene nor the murderer reckoned with Paul Savoy, who in his own brilliant fashion solves a murder case that is among the most baffling in current fiction.” [from the American edition]
