The Infamous James Smith and a Highland Flight
A narrator recounts the Scotland case of James Smith who wooed and plotted against a Co Wick lodger's daughter and married secretly, clearing his yacht crew and fleeing to the Mediterranean. The wife resists exposure, Meeke resumes music, and a later violent confrontation leads to a missing husband and a puzzling disappearance of a maid as police moves begin.
