Blind Man’s Buff

Novelist Lucia Conroy, who is collaborating with Jimmy Lane on a play, persuades him to visit her ancestral mansion on Sycamore Island in New York, where she must attend a family gathering. Bringing along his pal (and narrator) Philip Carter, Jimmy finds himself in the midst of a classic murder scenario, with the family reunion cut off from the mainland by a storm. Jimmy's detective skills are put to the test as one death after another raises the tension in this atmospheric thriller.

Blind Man's Buff was first published in 1933.
