About the book: 2008 / Sir Henry Merrivale attacks America! Invitation from old friend G.M. Fred Manning, who promised to arrange a great mystery for him, turned into an investigation into the "disappearance in the swimming pool", confusing the New York police and using the press for his own purposes. Oh, yes, an important detail is the reduction of police officer O'Kelly to a state close to madness, by using voodoo magic in the subway. During the investigation, you will find out what the abandoned cemetery can be used for, as well as how well Sir Henry plays baseball - reporters believe that he confused it with cricket. In general, you will not be bored.!
