After revealing it was her own husband who was the culprit, Mr Bruff became thorny.

"All this on the say-so of criminals?"

"On the say-so of the same criminals you have relied on in the past," I countered. "I cannot prove it, but I know it for a fact."

"Then what are we to do?"

"Who do you represent, sir?" I asked. "The late Lady Geeson or her husband?"

Mr Bruff's brow furrowed. "Adelaide Geeson, of course. Her parents were clients of mine before they passed."

"Then you would want to know who it was who struck her down? Who eventually murdered her?"

I must admit your reply got me wondering, but I assumed it was me being dim.

I don’t know this film. Thanks for the recommendation, Jan.

"More?" The man peered down his cadaverous nose at me.

"If I am correct in my thinking, I beg you to help me put an end to Sir John Geeson."

A moment of perfect understanding seemed to pass between us.

Then Mr Death raised his hands and smiled. "Young man, I am but a humble clerk."

"I managed to track them down, sir." I replied.

"Ah! Where are they?"

"In the city of Hull...though I doubt they are there any longer."

"Hull?" Sergeant Gray's lips pursed.

There are fools in this world, and people you can easily fool, but Sergeant Gray is not among them.

Explaining my situation would have gone considerably quicker without his constant interjections. And yet he finally took me seriously.

"How is it you know that these escaped housebreakers did not attack Lady Geeson?" he asked.

It was the question I had dreaded.
