A dying woman's cryptic words lead Inspector Hanaud into one of his most intricate and unsettling investigations.
In The House of the Arrow, A. E. W. Mason returns Inspector Gabriel Hanaud to the Riviera, where a wealthy Englishwoman lies murdered in her shuttered villa. With her final breath she utters a single clue: The arrow. What seems a simple reference soon unfolds into a labyrinth of concealed identities, calculated manipulation, and carefully staged appearances.
As Hanaud probes the silent corridors of the house and reconstructs the movements of those within it, he confronts a crime built upon deception and emotional control. The investigation moves beyond mere opportunity and motive into psychological territory, exposing how carefully constructed narratives can mislead even the attentive observer.
Blending atmosphere, intellectual rigor, and disciplined deduction, The House of the Arrow stands as one of the most accomplished entries in the Hanaud series and a refined example of early twentieth-century detective fiction.
