About “Men Die at Cyprus Lodge”
The thirty-eighth mystery featuring Dr. Lancelot Priestley, a Golden Age armchair detective, centers on Cyprus Lodge, a reportedly haunted house in the English countryside that has remained unoccupied for many years. Ghost hunter Sir Philip Briningham becomes fascinated by the nineteenth-century building but is found violently dead, adding to the rumors about the house. Scotland Yard becomes involved, and Priestley becomes convinced that Briningham's death—and the deaths of others—was the work of a very human murderer. The story explores the mystery surrounding the house and the true nature of the deaths linked to it.
