London, 1883.
Now, it seems, the Garstang murderer is back....
Ten years ago, Nathan\'s uncle aunt and servants were murdered in their sleep in the very same house.
But what piques Grice\'s interest is the crime\'s link to one of London\'s most notorious unsolved murders.
A classic locked-room case.
Nathan Garstang was found slaughtered in his bed, but there is no trace of a weapon or intruder.
Mr.
So, when a beautiful young woman turns up at the door, imploring London\'s foremost private detective to solve the mystery of her father\'s murder, Grice can barely disguise his glee.
The household is, perhaps, too quiet.
Private detective Sidney Grice is studying up on the anatomical structure of human hair whilst his ward, March Middleton, sneaks upstairs for her eighth secret cigarette of the day.
All is quiet at 125 Gower Street.
London, 1883
