About This Book
A detective listens to a client who describes being lured to repair a petrol engine in a private flat by a peculiar, well-dressed stranger and being struck unconscious; that incident proves linked to the abduction of a high-ranking man and a demand for a large ransom. The narrative follows the investigation as the detective traces mechanical clues, a bicyclist sighting, a stolen horse and an ingenious abduction scheme, assembling witness accounts and small details to reveal motive, method and the perpetrators.
