The House of the Arrow

A modest London solicitor receives a frantic, hand‑written plea from the French town of Dijon. The note, signed by a desperate Boris Waberski, claims a right to a half‑million pounds tied up in the estate of the recently deceased Mrs. Harlowe. Intrigued by the odd spelling, the unfamiliar signature and the promise of a sizeable inheritance, the solicitor hesitates before slipping the letter into a private safe. The brief glimpse of a family will that leaves everything to a young niece, Betty Harlowe, hints that something far more tangled lies beneath the polite correspondence.

When the solicitor’s curiosity draws him to Dijon, he encounters a circle of grieving relatives, cryptic servants and a puzzling house that seems to guard its own secrets. The atmosphere is charged with whispered rumors of fraud, concealed documents and a mysterious “arrow” that may point to a hidden truth. As the investigation deepens, a sharp‑minded detective joins the effort, promising to untangle the web of claims and lies. Listeners are invited into a classic early‑20th‑century puzzle where every clue could change the fate of the Harlowe legacy.
