This is the third Jack Haldean 1920 Historial Mystery. George Lassiter, an old WWI Flying mate of Private Investigator Jack Haldean, breaks into a house, he believes he owns. Suppssedly empty, instead he hears voices. Sounds like the murder of a woman. Leaving quietly was his intentions, only to be arrested and accused of attempted burglary.

Why he was there and who owns the house, he tells his friend Jack Haldean, who comes to his aid. Jack investigates and discovers owners of the house are relatives of George. With all probability, instigated this bizarre plot to steal George out of his bequest. As Jack investigates further, he begins to suspect something else is going on.

This is a fast pace whodunit. This is not another WWI story, this is a historial mystery that gives you a reality sense of London just after WWI.
