An infamous fraud has been poisoned at a congress of geneticists, and the suspects include a dozen vindictive former assistants and humiliated colleagues. Enter Professor John Stubbs, Scottish botanist and amateur sleuth, whose investigation employs humorously unconventional methods. Written under a pseudonym by art critic and poet Ruthven Campbell Todd, this witty 1945 whodunnit recaptures the flavour of English university life during the mid-20th century.

AUTHOR: Ruthven Campbell Todd (191478) was a Scottish-born poet, scholar, art critic, and fantasy novelist who wrote a series of detective novels under the name R. T. Campebell.
