This etext was transcribed by Les Bowler
"The Clevedon Case" by Nancy Oakley and John Oakley is a detective novel likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around Dennis Holt, a criminologist who becomes ensnared in a web of mystery following the murder of Sir Philip Clevedon. As events unfold, Holt will attempt to untangle the truth behind the murder and the various characters involved, including the enigmatic Kitty Clevedon. The opening of the story introduces Dennis Holt at his newly inherited home in the quiet village of Cartordale. Late one night, he is startled by a tapping at his window, through which he meets a young girl, Kitty Clevedon, who claims to have injured herself while lost in the fog. This chance encounter quickly evolves into a complex mystery as Holt learns about a tragic death at nearby White Towers, leading him to question both Kitty and her connections to the unfolding drama. The combination of a midnight visit, a murder, and the ensuing investigation sets the stage for an intriguing narrative filled with suspense and unexpected turns.
