Sinopsis

There were two reasons why the terrible and, in many ways, incredible Garden murder case--which took place in the early spring following the spectacular Casino murder case* (*"The Casino Murder Case" [1934])--was so designated. In the first place, the scene of this tragedy was the penthouse home of Professor Ephraim Garden, the great experimental chemist of Stuyvesant University; and secondly, the exact situs criminis was the beautiful private roof-garden over the apartment itself.
