About This Book

As the cab drove rapidly towards the famous detective establishment on the Embankment, Dorcas explained her motive for no longer acting on her own responsibility. So long as she was with Carr she was assisting a properly - authorised police officer to investigate a sensational affair. But Carr being absent — probably disabled, possibly insensible — she was no longer justified in taking any further steps in the matter. It was her duty to communicate her knowledge to the properly - constituted authorities.
