The Bowstring Murders is a mystery novel by the American writer John Dickson Carr (1906-1977), who wrote it under the name of Carr Dickson. It is a whodunit and the only one of his many works to be published under this name; subsequent reprints have been under his main pseudonym of "Carter Dickson". It is also his only novel to feature alcoholic detective John Gaunt.
[edit] Plot summary
