About the book
The new lawyer Henry Bohun had joined the firm to work on insurance cases, not murders, but... "At eleven o'clock this morning a partner in this firm of solicitors — what's their name? — Horniman, Birley and Craine, opened one of their deed boxes. The box was supposed to contain papers relating to a trust. What they found was one of the trustees. Name of Smallbone — Marcus Smallbone — very dead."
