    • 2/5
      John Putnam Thatcher of Sloan Guaranty Trust is involved in a family quarrel among Armenian rug merchants, ending, as I recall, in the exposure of an improbable imposture.
    • 4/5
      When an elderly Sloan trust beneficiary is murdered soon after arriving in the United States to live with her family, John Putnam Thatcher and Everett Gabler must discover which family member has a deadly enough secret to kill for. Their investigation takes them into the world of Oriental rug importation and sales. This is a delightful book, one of the best in a very good series.
