The Retirement of Sir William Sparter and the Lambert Plot
Sir William Sparter, a determined Portsmouth dockyard worker turned magnate, dies not in wealth but in a chilling quest to ruin rival Signor Lambert. He coerces his wife to draft a letter provoking an assignation, then uses a throat specialist’s tools to threaten Lambert, revealing a violent, jealousy driven motive rooted in artistic control.
