London in 1898. The time has finally come for Percy Enright to retire from Scotland Yard. His nephew, Jack, is sad to lose a partner in the force, but Jack’s wife Esther is glad Percy won’t be getting her husband into any further scrapes. It seems Esther’s relief might be short-lived, though, when a senior officer collapses at Percy’s farewell ceremony.
It soon becomes clear that the officer was poisoned, and Percy delays retirement to help Jack track down the culprit. It’s a daunting task that involves trawling through all the murdered officer’s recent cases in the search for someone who may still bear him a grudge. But when it becomes clear the dead man may not have been the intended target, the investigation suddenly turns in a new direction.
