The Middle Temple Murder

The London police have a baffling murder on their hands. An unidentified man has been bludgeoned to death in the Middle Temple Lane, but there is no weapon at the scene and practically nothing to go on. Frank Spargo, a young reporter covering the story, is almost ready to go home when he decides, almost on a whim, to follow the body to the morgue. One small clue has already surfaced--a gray cap which appears to have been newly purchased at a fashionable shop in the West End--and his intuition tells him something may turn up.
