The Benson Murder Case by S. S. Van Dine

Published in 1926, this is the debut of Philo Vance, the erudite, aesthete amateur detective who made Van Dine the best-selling mystery writer in America for several years running. A touchstone of Golden Age detective fiction that's fallen out of fashion despite its enormous influence at the time.

Includes the full unabridged audiobook (LibriVox recording) along with the ePub.
