The Darrow Enigma

A chemist asks his doctor for a tonic to help him unlock the secrets of atoms. What he really wants is an introduction to Gwen Darrow.

The physician telling the tale has lately become famous for a cure that was pure chance—and can remember a conversation almost word for word. George Maitland, hale beneath his pretence of illness, draws him into a world of chemical speculation and unspoken love. Then, at the Darrow home, a gathering turns to alarm when John Darrow cries that he has been stabbed. Gwen believes her father’s death was no accident, and Maitland and the doctor must make sense of the strange circumstances around it. What secret lies hidden in the evidence—and what will the search uncover?
