The Hoppington murder and the orchid hunter
A Chicago mystery centers on Captain Fitzhugh Graham and Countess Evelyn Scrymgour in a tale of love, betrayal, and murder at Hopington's Chicago home. A bloody slipper, a knife through a table, and a drugged wine drive a web of clues as Graham confesses, and the Countess laments a doomed romance amid public scandal.
