About Title: Philo Vance, the psycho-sleuth, is invited to aid his friend Markham, the district attorney, and Sergeant Heath of the Homicide Bureau in their efforts to discover the murderer of the Canary, a noted Broadway blonde who is found strangled in her apartment on West 71st Street. The only entrance to the apartment is thru the main hall past the telephone operator's booth. Thus the number of suspects is narrowed down to four men known to have been enamored of the Canary. It is one of the best of the recent detective stories, compact, swift, and well articulated, with sufficient exciting detail and enough variety of complication to exercise the ingenuity of the reader continuously. From the moment of its beginning with the discovery of the murder to the final revelation of her destroyer the pace of the story never flags. About Series: The Philo Vance mysteries comprise 12 books written between 1926 and 1939. There were 11 movies made from this well-loved sleuth. About Author: Willard Huntington Wright (1887-1939), born in Charlottesville, Virginia, was the writer behind the pseudonym S.S. Van Dine. About Movie: The 1929 Paramount release was directed by Malcolm St. Clair. A beautiful showgirl, name "the Canary" is a scheming nightclub singer. Blackmailing is her game and with that she ends up dead. But who killed "the Canary". All the suspects knew and were used by her and everyone had a motive to see her dead. The only witness to the crime has also been 'rubbed out'. Only one man, the keen, fascinating, debonair detective Philo Vance, would be able to figure out who is the killer.
