Reginald Brett, a sharp‑witted barrister with a penchant for sleuthing, begins the tale in the quiet comfort of his London flat. A light‑hearted exchange with his long‑serving man, Smith, reveals Brett’s meticulous nature and his love for the subtle clues that most overlook. When a newspaper article announces a baffling incident at an Albert Gate mansion, his idle autumn morning turns into the spark of a new investigation.
The story quickly expands beyond the city’s genteel veneer, hinting at a tangled web involving high‑ranking Turkish visitors and rumors of multiple murders. As Brett prepares to attend a country shoot, the mysterious West End crime beckons, promising a blend of legal acumen, courtroom drama, and classic detective intuition. Listeners can expect a period‑rich atmosphere, witty dialogue, and a methodical mind eager to untangle the secrets hidden behind polished façades.
