Description
Our old friend Satterthwaite is in Corsica, the French island in the Mediterranean where Napoleon was born, with his old friend, the Duchess of Leith, for a little holiday.
While in Corsica they unexpectedly meet a young artist and cousin of the Duchess who escorts them up a mountain to the isolated Coti-Chiavari and a place she calls "World's End." There's another surprise - the appearance there of Mr. Quin who has come to shed new light on the conviction of a jewel thief the year before…
Librarian's note #1: this short story was published in Flynn's Weekly (1926) and then in the print anthology The Mysterious Mr. Quin which was first published in 1930.
Librarian's note #2: the print anthology contains 12 Mr. Quin short stories. Besides those, there are two more found in other collections: The Love Detectives, and The Harlequin Tea Set. Mr. Satterthwaite also appears in Three Act Tragedy and Dead Man's Mirror. All by Agatha Christie, of course!
Librarian's note #3: the entries for all fourteen Mr. Quin short stories can be found on GR by searching for: a Harley Quin short story. Or for Harley Quin. Details such as characters and settings are included for each.
