Book Description
Maria Black, the woman's school headmistress who doubles as a detective, is invited to attend the engagement celebrations of an ex-pupil of her college. There she finds herself involved in the mysterious suicide of the prospective bridegroom, Keith Robinson. All the circumstances--death by hanging in a locked cellar--support the idea that Keith took his own life. The coroner, too, is satisfied that such was the case--but certain peculiar factors of the death lead "Black Maria" to think otherwise. Aided by her American Bowery companion, "Pulp" Martin, Maria sets out to prove how Keith really died--and in doing so uncovers an ingenious plan of cold-blooded murder. But who is the killer--and why was Keith murdered? This fifth--and final--novel in the Black Maria series is a classic "locked-room" crime novel, one that will leave the reader guessing right up to the last page!

VOICE OF THE CONQUEROR Forsythe reeled back into the missile's instrument room, his skull torn with blinding pain. Sight and hearing had been destroyed in those few seconds. He was only a shell of a man, life deserting him in the half minute that ensued. He did not even detect the further frightful explosions that burst around him, even though his dying body registered their shock. Such were the radiations they generated they pierced right through the insulation of his spacesuit, but they did not affect the missile in which he lay even though it rocked under the soundless impacts. Forsythe died not knowing what had destroyed him... FIRST WORLD BOOK PUBLICATION OF JOHN RUSSELL FEARN'S MOST UNUSUAL SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL!
