Description:
Legacy of Death, first published in 1960, was book no. 61 (and
last in the series) of British mysteries by Miles Burton (a pen-name for
prolific author Cecil Street [1884-1964]) featuring Inspector Henry
Arnold and Desmond Merrion. The story centers on the residents of Forest
House, a private nursing-convalescent home. An apparent drug overdose
is later determined to be a case of murder, and another resident is
discovered along a nearby railroad track with her skull bashed-in.
Inspector Arnold and Desmond Merrion investigate a faint trail of clues
as they search for the killer.
