Lady Killer (novel)

Three women, a young German housekeeper, a tea shop proprietor, and a Colonel's daughter have recently come into some money. All three die tragic deaths shortly after meeting and marrying a tall, distinguished man whose name changes in each case but always keeps the initials H.G. In each case the coroner's investigation concludes that the death is accidental, and fails to draw the link between the similar deaths. With satisfaction the perpetrator believes he has got away with murder. Unknown to him, however, the three cases have caught the eye of London lawyer Arthur Crook.
