"The Rasp" by Philip MacDonald is a mystery novel published in 1924. When a cabinet minister is found bludgeoned to death in his country house library, ex-secret service agent Anthony Gethryn is assigned to cover the story. Invited to investigate as a friend of the family, Gethryn faces a baffling puzzle: every suspect has an ironclad alibi. To solve the crime, he must uncover an imaginative scheme that allowed the murderer to be in two places at once.
