About Murder in the gunroom

<p>Jeff Rand, a private detective, is skeptical when he is employed by Gladys Fleming to evaluate her recently acquired gun collection, which happens to contain a dark secret. The more facts he uncovers, the more interesting the story becomes. Gun dealers, butlers, wives and cops all become suspects in the investigation of a mysterious death. The book is rich with detailed descriptions of the many different guns that star in this tale. This is the only murder-mystery written by <a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/h-beam-piper">Piper</a>, who was mostly known for his science fiction novels.</p>
