About this ebook
In September 1882 Inspector James Hadley is instructed by the Commissioner to begin a murder investigation in secrecy after the body of Charles Barrington, a high ranking official at the Foreign Office, is found alongside the naked body of a young man. Barrington was engaged in negotiations with the Russian Embassy regarding British troop deployments in Afghanistan. Suspicion falls on the Russian Nihilists, who murdered Countess Helena Petrovna a year previously, but this is dismissed as a young man named Roger Freeman, who visited Barrington at the Foreign Office, becomes the prime suspect. As the investigation proceeds, Countess Natasha Petrovna, sister of the murdered Countess, arrives at Scotland Yard to report the disappearance of her fiancé, Dimitri Viralovski, who is identified as the naked man found with Barrington. Viralovski was related to the Russian Ambassador and Hadley is informed that Cossack security men will also be searching for the killer. After attempts to trace Roger Freeman fail, Sergeant Cooper has a lead to the suspect when he sees a male impersonator singing in a music hall. Hadley confronts the killer and is attacked before overcoming the assailant. At the trial, the killer pleads guilty, but insane and is sentenced to life imprisonment in a secure mental institution.
