Originally published in 1939, Dragon’s Cave is one in a series of Clyde Clason’s Professor Theocritus Lucius Westborough mysteries.THE author of the very successful THE DEATH ANGEL tells in this book a remarkable mystery story with excellent characterization and great suspense. It marks Clyde Clason as one of the outstanding authors of the murder mystery genre and further establishes the professor as one of the most delightful and lovable sleuths in the field of detective fiction. PROFESSOR THEOCRITUS LUCIUS WESTBOROUGH accompanied Lieutenant John Mack to the home of Jonas Wright, well-to-do Chicago businessman and collector of ancient weapons, to find that Wright had been slain, with one of his own possessions, a halberd, on the floor beside his battered body. Westborough was in his element; ancient weapons, a cryptogram diary found among the dead man’s belongings, and a complicated problem in human relationships to provide several suspects.Westborough, disagreeing with Mack’s theory that the murderer was necessarily a member of the Wright household, resorted to guile to obtain some of his information, put on a beautiful amateur theatrical performance, and allowed himself to be used as bait in a trap that almost caught him. Mystery readers can depend on Lucius to provide them with entertainment, information and clever detection. Despite his erudition he is never stuffy, and as a personality he becomes more amusing, more lovable, with each adventure.
