This ends all I have to say about myself; but the events of that night carefully related to me by George are important enough for me to describe them, with all the detail which is their rightful due. I shall tell the story as I have already been led to do in other portions of this narrative, as though I were present and shared the adventure.

Millionairess Miss Edith Challoner is killed while staying at the Clermont Hotel, while sitting in plain sight and no-one near her. How and why. Detectives Gryce and Sweetwater investigate.
