A Shilling for Candles
Inspector Grant is back, and rubbing elbows with the stars.
When a beautiful film star is found drowned, apparently by her own hand, the Coast Guard call in Inspector Grant, one of Scotland Yard’s finest. The inspector is immediately suspicious—he cannot pin down a sensible motivation for her to take her own life, and quickly concludes that this must not be suicide, but murder.
