Summary
Joseph Smith Fletcher: Murder in the Middle Temple
Can a typist from the city column of a daily newspaper solve the murder of a returnee from faraway Australia, but also a dark family secret several decades old? The rewards are enticing – access to exclusive information and gaining popularity in the journalistic world, snatching glory from Scotland Yard's nose and, most of all, winning a special place in the heart of a young lady in distress. Following the trail of an honorary ticket to a horse race at a long-abandoned racecourse, the main character, a bright and somewhat cheeky journalist, meets a series of intriguing figures from London's public life and step by step gets closer to solving the case of a mysterious murder.
