St. Denis: The Perfumed Death

A young man dies with a peculiar scent on his lips, drawing Inspector Fisk into an investigation into a strange series of murders with no apparent motive and the same lingering perfume. When Fisk’s playwright friend Sidney Traherne finally joins the hunt, his impartiality uncovers a clue that helps put the case in perspective—and the killer in their sights. The Perfumed Death (also published as The Perfumed Lure), was first published in 1931 in Complete Detective Novel Magazine, later in book format.
