Cats Eye / Original Title: the CAT S EYE (Chikuma Bunko)

[Machine Translation] A young woman cries for help, and Ansti, a lawyer on his way home, rushes to the scene to find a man and woman in a violent struggle. The man escapes, and at a nearby mansion where the woman, stabbed in the side, was brought in, the master was murdered in the display room of his jewelry collection. The case seems to be a simple robbery-homicide, but the victim's brother, Sir Lawrence, is not satisfied with the police investigation and asks Dr. Thorndike to run for the job. A golden age mystery with an adventurous element of authentic mystery.

助けを求める若い女性の叫び声に、帰宅途中の弁護士アンスティが駆けつけると、そこには男女が激しく組み合う姿が。男は逃走、脇腹を刺された女性を運び込んだ近くの邸では、主人が宝石コレクションの陳列室で殺害されていた。事件は単純な強盗殺人に思われたが、被害者の弟ローレンス卿は警察の捜査に納得せず、ソーンダイク博士の出馬を要請する。本格推理に冒険的要素を加えた黄金時代ミステリ。
