The Furthest Fury

‘The Furthest Fury’ is the sixteenth book in the popular Fleming Stone detective series by author Carolyn Wells. David Stanhope is visiting friends in Connecticut when he hears of the brutal murder of a brother and sister who live locally. Suspects are wide-ranging, including the son of one of Stanhope’s own friends. With only the bumbling local police to help him solve the case, Stanhope does not get very far and is forced to call on the investigative skills of Fleming Stone. With plenty of twists and turns, this is a gripping detective novel.
