And, since nothing was taken, why should that flat be burgled at all? That problem was only the beginning. What, for instance, had become of Farrell's wife? And of the girl adopted by the vicar's sister? And why should that sister plant bulbs on a stranger's grave? And why should a Soho head-waiter, doing pretty well for himself, suddenly commit suicide?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese were only some of the problems confronting Ludovic Travers and his old friends, Matthews and Jewle of Scotland Yard.
