The May Day Mystery

Murder is done on the quiet campus of a large Southern university-not that many will truly miss the disreputable Pat Thayer. Around three persons-two students, one the most popular girl in the college, and a professor-is woven a web of circumstantial evidence and incriminating motives.A second crime, a bank robbery-apparently unconnected with the murder-is committed and to solve this is called Detective Jim Hanvey. As the clues become more numerous and the trail more involved, the sleuthing methods of Detective Hanvey are followed with increasing zest until the reader fairly races ahead of the pages in an effort to check up on his deductions.It's the mark of a winner when a detective story moves along with the growing tension and excitement of The May Day Mystery (1929). Ingenious, swift and unusual, it is a yarn to thrill the classic mystery fan.
