The Quinton Ruby Theft and Hewitt Interlude
A jewel theft at Radcot Hall targets Lady Quinton's great ruby and other pieces while London detective Hewitt dismisses speculations of commission. An Irishman, Michael Leamy, reports a string of assaults but seems more a victim than thief, claiming a mysterious bag exchange and a chance job from a stranger on a first class train ride.
