The House at Satan's Elbow
Pennington Barclay, master of Greengrove, is murderously attacked in his library by something that exits from a completely locked room. The entire household — including Pennington's beautiful young wife, and his nephew, who is the heir to Greengorove by virtue of a newly discovered will — is in an uproar. Estelle Barclay, Pennington's spinsterish and psychically inclined sister, insists the attack was the work of Greengrove's ghost.
Enter Dr. Gideon Fell.
Armed with his everlasting cigar and a wicked cane, this obstreperous extrovert succeeds in frightening everybody. For as horror piles on horror throughout the night, Gideon Fell evidences interest in one person only — the spirit of the long-departed Mr. Justice Wildfare.
But Fell was not up to any supernatural hijinks, as someone well knew... the one who was most frightened of all.
