"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.

To solve the crime, he must uncover an imaginative scheme that allowed the murderer to be in two places at once. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
