Murder on Mount Capita Magpie Books # 62 Australian Pulp LW Martin and N.S. Lynravn This is the only Magpie edition I have seen of this title Well used condition Captain Sylvester, A.A.M.C., a capable and energetic officer but a harsh taskmaster, was cordially detested by his men. As he led a small party of them in single file along a perilously narrow path on Mount Capita, he reeled, staggered and fell-fell from that precipitous height into the trees many hundreds of feet below. When his crushed body was recovered from the depths and scientifically examined, a startling discovery was made. Without doubt, the unpopular leader had been the victim of a cunningly conceived murder. With eight suspects, each with a strong motive for the slaying, a grim problem faced the authorities. By whose hand had he been plunged into eternity? Whose hatred had been strong enough to allow its possessor to play the role of executioner? These were the questions to be answered. Read how the mystery was solved by the patience and brilliant logic of the famous In- spector Ashton, of the Sydney C.I.B., and how his knowledge of the writings of a great English dramatist furnished him with a clue to a seemingly unsolvable puzzle.
