In five short stories and one long novelette, Rufus King introduces Colin Starr, a young physician whose medical knowledge enables him to detect murder where a less able doctor would have signed a certificate of death from natural causes. Because of his shrewd understanding of human psychology as well as his application of scientific knowledge to seemingly unrelated facts, Dr. Starr is a unique detective in the annals of crime. Included in this volume are: The Case of the Three Baleful Brothers The Case of the Prodigal Bridegroom The Case of the Sudden Shot The Case of the Imperious Invalid The Case of the Buttoned Collar The Case of the Lonely Ladies
