From the Dust Jacket: "A man of opinions and distinct taste, Cecil Inkpen, private detective extraordinaire, lives a well-ordered existence with his jack-of-all-trades and personal secretary, J. L. Wallace in a tastefully furnished townhouse on the park. Preparing to settle in to enjoy a quiet Christmas Eve, Mr. Inkpen finds himself accosted by a young man bent on acquiring his services on behalf of his boss, Elliot Morgan, a well-known and influential businessman with political aspirations. Morgan's house party has just been shattered by the murder of one of the guests, a death that just might put an end to all his ambitions. Inexplicably, it seems to be an open-and-shut case of a burglar surprised in the act (or so the police -- and everyone else -- would like to think), except for one tantalizing clue. His curiosity aroused, Mr. Inkpen sets out to solve the mystery in time to be home to enjoy his own private Christmas with Wallace. In C. INKPEN: THE CASE OF THE DANGLING RIBBON, Robert D. Halpert has woven a clever and intricately plotted mystery with a fine, old-fashioned flavor that will delight mystery lovers everywhere.". Signed by Author (signature only).
