Robin, champion archer, is mysteriously pierced through the heart by an arrow. The body is discovered on the archery range alongside the home of Professor Bertrand Dillard on 75th Street, near Riverside Drive. The Police Department and the district attorney's office are immediately notified; and there follows a criminal investigation fraught with the tensest drama and the most baffling horrors. There are more murders and in each case the facetious murderer calls himself the Bishop. It is his pleasant habit after each murder to suggest a false clue in a little nursery rhyme, which, considering the circumstances of the crimes, gives the case a particularly mystifying and fiendish appearance. 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 1930 MGM release was directed by Nick Grinde. The murders start with the body of Robin. He is found with a arrow through the heart, but Vance deduces that the body was placed and not found where he was killed. The note found dealing with the murder was part of a nursery rhyme and signed by 'Bishop'. The only witness may have been Mrs. Drukker and Adolph, but they are not talking. As the murders progress, each one is accompanied by a nursery rhyme. It is up to Philo Vance to unravel the clues and unmask the identity of the murderer 'Bishop'.
