A Disgraceful Embrace
A Mystery Novel by Nev March
Companion Book to the Captain Jim and Lady Diana Mysteries Series
This short story from award-winning author Nev March leads into The Silversmith's Puzzle. Just as in the Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes, here Lady Diana persuades Captain Jim to tell the story of a recent puzzling case.
Summoned by an urgent cable, Jim and Diana need to soon leave London for Bombay. But Jim must first investigate the awkward case that his boss, Alfred Dupree, had assigned him. When Jim arrives, beaming with satisfaction, Diana implores him to explain. Jim's client was discovered in a "disgraceful embrace," and sent to Newgate Prison. Here he regales Diana and her uncle about this sticky situation and its unexpected solution.
