The Billiard Room Mystery
註釋The Billiard Room Mystery by Brian Flynn is about debonair aristocrat Anthony Bathurst as he aids the local detective in solving a murder committed on a billiard ball table. Excerpt: "Seeing Bathurst this evening, after a lapse of eight years, has given me a most insistent inclination to set down, for the first time, the real facts of that cause célèbre, that was called by the Press at the time, the "Billiard Room Mystery." Considering the length of the interval, and regarding the whole affair from every possible point of view, it is sufficiently plain to me that an authentic history of the case can harm nobody and can prejudice no interests. I, therefore, succumb to the temptation, serenely confident that, no matter what shortcomings there may be in the telling, the affair itself as a whole, is entitled to rank as one of the most baffling in the annals of criminology."
