Riddle of a lady

What was hidden under the bland exterior of Henry Greatorex, the charming, indolent, unpredictable chief of the Beckfield branch of Greatorex Brothers, the reputable London solicitors? Was he merely a philanderer — an ardent lover — a secret benefactor — a considerate employer — or a callous murderer? Arthur Crook, the unconventional lawyer specialising in things criminal, finds in Henry Greatorex one of the more unusual clients of his career. The lady of fairly easy virtue had been found dead in her living room and had certainly received a number of visitors during the evening and one of them had certainly been Henry Greatorex — but had he done the killing? Arthur Crook on the trail of a murderer hidden in a mass of conflicting eye-witness accounts.
