Rogues in the House
by Robert E. Howard
One of the original stories written by American writer Robert E. Howard and first published in Weird Tales magazine in January 1934 starring Conan of Cimmeria, the fictional protagonist of sword and magic. The action takes place during the so-called historical period of the Gibors and is related to Conan's mistaken involvement in a power game between two powerful men fighting for control of the city. This was Conan's seventh story published by Howard.
