โฆ Synopsis
New OCR from a cbz file. Formatted, proofed, v.1.5. Two pages missing in source file, but not critical.
Originally published in 1934. (From back of the paperback reprinted in 1963) Also published as The Body In Bedford Square. It continues the series involving Mr. Pinkerton, average grey man, and Inspector Bull of Scotland Yard.
Carlotta Rathbone was awfully elegant, dreadfully chic and terribly dead- as Mr. Pinkerton discovered when he stumbled over her body in a dimly lighted London street.
Her friends were bought; her enemies were legion, and paramount among them was Archibald Biddle, a social-climbing novelist who had used Carlotta and then tried to drop her. Biddle was Scotland Yard's prime suspect- until he panicked and began to tell too much about London's international set.
Then the killer struck again...
