About this audiobook
This story was first published more than a century ago and it tells of intrigue, murder, and crime in high places.
It was a lonely English courtyard where attorneys received traditional apprenticeship … one of the ancient Inns of Court. The bludgeoned body of a well-dressed elderly man was found there at midnight, an apparent murder victim. Investigative newspaper reporter Frank Spargo was one of the first to arrive at the crime scene and he was puzzled about why such a prosperous looking man had been wandering there at that time of night. The only item found on the body was a small paper with a young barrister’s address. The sinister atmosphere will keep you guessing what it’s all about, as you can now hear.
