The Leavenworth Case

Before Sherlock Holmes, There Was Private Detective Ebenezer Gryce. The Leavenworth Case is one of the very first mystery masterpieces of our modern times. Set in New York City, detective Ebenezer Gryce investigates the curious murder case of a very rich man, Horatio Leavenworth. Many clues lead to the victim's nieces, but are they truly responsible for their uncle's death? Maybe this is where 'The butler did it' started or maybe, just maybe, Leavenworth's private secretary had something to do with it.
