The Evil Shepherd and the West End Murder
Francis Lecnam defends Oliver Hilditch in a murder case and clears him only to learn from his wife that Hilditch is an arch criminal. At a dinner with Hilditch and his wife, Oliver demonstrates how he killed a victim and hints his own death might please his wife. After a phone call claiming Oliver’s murder, a coroner’s verdict of suicide follows. Francis and Andrew Wilmore plot to uncover Sir Timothy Brass, the so called evil shepherd, while the city reels from the crime and public rumor.
