S. Van Dine is a murder mystery novel written in the late 1920s. The story follows Philo Vance, an astute amateur investigator who is called upon to unravel a bizarre murder that captivates the public's attention. Set against the backdrop of New York City, the case revolves around the peculiar death of a man named Joseph Cochrane Robin, known as "Cock Robin," a champion archer found dead with an arrow through his heart. As Vance delves into the investigation, a web of intrigue involving love rivalries and cryptic messages emerges, setting the stage for a captivating whodunnit. The opening of "The Bishop Murder Case" introduces us to Philo Vance, who has just returned to New York after a winter in Switzerland. He's eager to resume his literary pursuits, but his plans are interrupted by a phone call from John F.-X. Markham, the District Attorney, regarding a shocking new murder that bears hidden connections to an infamous nursery rhyme. Vance's initial idleness turns to excitement as he learns of Robin's death, which is not just peculiar due to the method but also because of the strange circumstances surrounding it. The narrative sets the tone for a compelling investigation filled with logical deductions, character dynamics among a group of mathematicians and socialites, and the clever use of literary allusions, creating an engaging environment for the reader as they anticipate the unearthing of dark secrets.
