Jack Haldean has been invited to visit an elderly man, but he has no
idea why. A Mr. Hunt wants Jack to search for and find his nephew who
has been missing for a few months now. Jack’s first place to go to get
information is Bill Rackham of Scotland Yard, however he is unable to
provide further details other than the missing man is the heir to a vast
sum from his grandmother.
Going through the police files, Jack notices that the missing man was
supposed to meet with the Brazilian manager of his uncle’s coffee firm.
When he checks into that, he discovers that that man is also missing.
Did one or the other bump the other off?
When a body is discovered, initially it is assumed to be the nephew,
however dental records prove it not to be. So is it the Brazilian? If
so, does this make the nephew a killer? Mr. Hunt now wants Jack to
prove otherwise.
When a woman who works for the Hunt Coffee business is murdered, Jack
isn’t sure that the man apprehended and charged with the murder is the
killer. Despite this, Rackham is building a solid case.
An attempted murder and the death of a pauper, another suspicious death
and plenty of suspects. Author Dolores Gordon-Smith’s tale is twisted
as they come. How Jack Haldean will ever be able to solve it is
anyone’s guess. A good quick read.
