When Miles finally does appear, breathlessly running into the reception at Foxwood Hall, he brings grim news: he&’s found Chief Inspector Isaac Perkins murdered, shot in his home in his favorite parlor chair with his own gun. A policeman naturally makes enemies, especially those of questionable character. In charge of finding his former boss&’s killer, Miles reviews the details of the crime scene.
