The Invisible Circle

The Invisible Circle

The Invisible Circle Seven people receive invitations to a â€˜singular experienceâ€™ during a weekend in Cornwall in a castle reputedly built on the site of King Arthurâ€™s, and situated on an island tenuously connected to the mainland. The sinister host announces that a murder will be committed that night, shows them a sword embedded in a stone (which none of them is able to pull out) and a golden chalice which he claims is the Holy Grail sought by the Knights of the Round Table. Thus begins a nightmarish series of events including impossible murders, the disappearance of the Grail, and communication with the mainland cut off. Has the vengeful king indeed returned? And is there any connection to the recent release of the hostâ€™s homicidal half-brother? The plot, one of Paul Halterâ€™s most convoluted, is great fun. â€˜The Invisible Circleâ€™ is the eighth Paul Halter novel to be published in English by Locked Room International. His previous novel â€˜The Crimson Fogâ€™ was named one of Publisherâ€™s Weeklyâ€™s Top Mysteries of 2013. The author, a best-selling novelist in his native France, has written over thirty novels, almost all â€˜locked roomâ€™ or â€˜impossible crime,â€™ and is widely regarded as the successor to John Dickson Carr. He appeared on BBC Radio 4â€™s program â€˜Miles Jupp in a Locked Room,â€™ broadcast on May 21, 2012.. A ninth novel â€˜The Riddle of Monte Veritaâ€™ by Jean-Paul Torok (â€œwonderfully captures and evokes the glory days of the detective storyâ€) was published in 2012. For information about signed and lettered editions of all nine novels, limited edition hardcover editions of Paul Halterâ€™s award-winning short story collection â€˜The Night of the Wolf,â€™ and future publication plans, please contact pugmire1@yahoo.com or go to www.lockedroominternational.com.
