Murder Could Not Kill

Murder Could Not Kill, first published in 1934, is a classic British 'golden age' murder mystery. From the dustjacket: 'Reuben Foster, a young artist, while taking a walk, witnesses a murder committed in an automobile. He is too late to reach the murderer. In the car he finds a terrified girl bent over the dead body of her father. He drives the girl to her fiance, and though he wishes to get clear of the case, his strong attraction to the girl involves him in it. What follows is a thrilling succession of climaxes that will leave the reader breathless. An enthralling romance adds the piquancy of passion to the thrills of murder.' Gregory Baxter was a pen-name of John Ressich (1877-1937), author of several detective mysteries.
