To explain, I had this old book I think the Penguin book of Ghost Stories. I was reading this story, but before I got to the end, I found someone had torn a few pages from the middle. I have never found the same story again (though I have tried to look for it), and have always wanted to get to the finish.
It was an old horror story, about a murder, the body being kept in a cask of wine. Where the victim's blood fined it so much, the detective investigating the missing man's disappearance thought it was delicious when he drank some. I think it was called 'The Wine Merchant', or something vaguely similar.
Do'es it sound familiar to anyone, ring any bells; anyone got any idea what it was called??
Any help appreciated. Thanx.
