Philo Vance finds his old chum District Attorney Anthony Markham up against a bizarre series of murders inspired by children's nursery rhymes. The first murder was apparently based on "Who Killed Cock Robin?"; it is followed by more hideous deaths referencing "Mother Goose." Philo Vance suspects a connection to a rather more sophisticated writer. The Bishop Murder Case -- CHARACTERS OF THE BOOK -- CHAPTER ONE "Who Killed Cock Robin?"
