The Middle Temple Murder

"The London police have a baffling murder on their hands. An unidentified man has been bludgeoned to death in Middle Temple Lane, but there is no weapon at the scene and practically nothing to go on. Frank Spargo, a young reporter covering the story, is almost ready to go home, when he decides, almost on a whim, to follow the body to the morgue. One small clue has already surfaced - a gray cap which appears to have been newly purchased at a fashionable shop in the West End - and his intuition tells him something else may turn up. Almost immediately something does - a piece of paper that had been wedged in the lining of the man's coat pocket. A very unexpected name and address is written on it: Ronald Breton, Barrister, King's Bench Walk, Temple, London. And Frank Spargo wonders if Ronald Breton may be involved in this grisly murder, and where the chain of clues will ultimately lead."--Publisher description.
