Story
In the charming hamlet of Brodley-on-Cleet lives Lord Cretinby in his country seat, secure, so he thinks, of reaching a ripe old age. But he is shot, poisoned and stabbed by an unknown assailant who, to hide his tracks, removes not only the body, but also the scene of the crime to an unfashionable hotel in Paris. Inspector Neddie Seagoon is once again responsible for solving the mystery.
