In this tale, a crime occurs under circumstances that appear nearly impossible to unravel. Every detail has been carefully arranged to mislead investigators, creating the illusion of an untraceable act. Yet, as always, Philo Vance brings his keen powers of observation, logical reasoning, and encyclopedic knowledge of human behavior to bear on the case. The story unfolds with a measured pace, presenting subtle clues, red herrings, and moments of suspense that engage the reader in the intellectual challenge of the investigation.

It gives us considerable pleasure to be able to offer to the public the “inside” record of those of former District Attorney Markham’s criminal cases in which Mr. Philo Vance figured so effectively. The true inwardness of these famous cases has never before been revealed by S. S. Van Dine, Mr. Vance’s lawyer and almost constant companion, being the only person who possessed a complete record of the facts and has only recently been permitted to make them public.

Il titolo di questo romanzo giallo fu deciso, postumo, dall'editore di S.S. Van Dine, perchè non sembra fosse nelle sue intenzioni concludere la carriera del suo raffinato alter ego. L'autore morì poco dopo la fine della seconda stesura del romanzo, che infatti ha uno stile più asciutto degli altri. Vance si muove negli ambienti ricchi della società newyorkese, fra gente alla moda e assassini ben congegnati.

Pubblicata nel 1934, questa avventura di Philo Vance, solutore di enigmi polizieschi, ci porta in un'atmosfera quasi irreale, pur trovandosi ai margini di Manhattan. Esistono davvero i draghi? Tutto sembra portare a questa conclusione, e Vance, erudito poliedrico, che spazia dalla mitologia alla ittiologia, ci porterà alla conclusione che forse la soluzione più banale è quella più probabile, nonostante la nostra voglia di novità ci porterebbe a preferire le soluzioni sovrannaturali. Cornice musicale: "Cool blues", di Charlie Parker.

Uno dei primi gialli del famoso giallista S. S. Van Dine che introduce il suo amato Philo Vance, solutore di enigmi polizieschi. Lo "scioglitore di enigmi", le cui gesta sono raccontate da un amico, e che aiuta la polizia a risolvere casi altrimenti insolubili ricalca evidentemente l'esempio di Holmes e Watson, ma la tecnica di indagine è totalmente diversa, basandosi su criteri psicologici ed estetici. Unico punto di contatto fra i due: ll'intelligenza superiore e il gentile disprezzo dei metodi della polizia ufficiale.

Alvin Benson is found slumped over an easy chair in a room locked from the inside with a bullet in his head, and Wall Street and the high society of Manhattan are set ablaze with the news of the playboy stockbroker’s death. But when NYPD’s top detectives and ballistics experts can’t solve the mystery, it falls to Philo Vance, an art connoisseur and amateur sleuth, to find the killer. Vance’s intellectual and artistic background helps him uncover a series of odd clues, starting with a missing toupee and false teeth, and soon he is delving deep into the case.

This short, but brief information expounding on Homelessness, Human Rights and Immigration in the United States of America is described today. Often refers to the United States of America as "a country of immigrants." During the last four centuries, people have traveled great distances to reach the United States to escape war, avoid political persecution, and find the freedom to practice their faith. Still, others came for the possibility of acquiring their own property or just for the prospect of finding a job and elevating themselves out of poverty.

In Unwelcome Guests, Harold S. Wechsler and Steven J. Diner argue that discrimination in college admissions has a long and troubling history in the US. Institutions of higher learning have vigorously sought to shape their mission and the experiences of their undergraduate students by paying careful attention to race and religion in admissions decisions. Wechsler and Diner explore how American colleges and universities sought to restrict enrollment of students they considered undesirable.
