Detective Busby Probes Jewel Robbery at The Gables
Scotland Yard detective John Busby travels to Manningford to investigate a £30000 jewel heist tied to Sir Henry Miles Mere's will. Suspicions fall on Sir Henry's son, the Dowager Lady Ellesmere and the household, including Mrs Nelson Rachel Marks and Julia Craley, as Busby questions staff and witnesses clashes over alibis and possible lovers. He records fading clues, reports a possible intruder, and orders reinforcements as the case deepens.
