Download or read book The Purple Sickle Murders written by Freeman Wills Crofts and published by . This book was released on 1929 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Story of three crooks who are in charge of a big crime scheme, which somehow centers on theater box offices. Inspector French attempts to uncover the nature of this crime scheme and gather evidence against the trio. Although the three commit murder to protect their scheme, the murders are almost irrelevant to the story, which focuses on French's efforts to unravel the big scheme. There is no whodunit aspect to the tale - the three crooks are identified right at the start of the story - and little mystery surrounding the killings. Instead, the mysteries in the tale surround the crime scheme itself. What is it? How is pulled off technologically - there is a great deal of technological and engineering detail in the story. How is it organized? There is also a great deal of emphasis in the novel on police detective work. French comes up with an endless number of ingenious ways to gather evidence against the crooks.
