Description:
Death Takes a Partner, first published in 1958, is book no. 67 in
the series of mysteries featuring private detective Dr. Priestley.
Author John Rhode, a pen name of Cecil Street (1884-1964), was a
prolific writer of mostly detective novels, publishing more than 140
books between 1924 and 1961. From the dustjacket: No two men
could have been more opposite in every way than Wilfred and Clarence
Cheriton. Wilfred, forever immersed in some engineering experiment, had
little use for people and business activities, whereas Clarence was a
sociable man with a gift for selling the products of the Cheriton
Engineering Works, of which he and his cousins were partners. If only
the two cousins could have made allowances for their differences, it was
a partnership which should have worked well. But they couldn't, and the
sudden death of Wilfred led Inspector James Waghorn of New Scotland
Yard to make some very searching inquiries into the affairs of the
Cheriton family. Once again, 'Jimmy' Waghorn is helped in his
investigations by the enigmatic advice of Dr. Priestley, while Sergeant
King's encyclopedic knowledge of the underworld plays its part in the
solving of a particularly ingenious crime.
