<p>The Merion Press is pleased to bring you yet another wonderful out-of-print masterpiece of detective fiction, The Three Taps (1927). It is the second detective novel by Ronald A. Knox, the author of The Viaduct Murder (1925), which is also published by The Merion Press. The Three Taps features Miles Bredon as the detective, who appears in the next four and final novels by Father Knox. Bredon is very unassuming and tries not to get involved but just can t help solving the murder (with considerable help from his wife, Angela). Bredon is employed by the insurance company, which issued a Euthanasia policy to Mr. Mottram, under which, if the insured dies before age 65, the proceeds are paid to his beneficiary; however, if he survives, then he gets regular annuity payments. Mottram dies under curious circumstances and Bredon has to figure out whether it was suicide or murder. Father Knox rewards us with another highly entertaining, thoroughly satisfying, classic British mystery story.</p>
