Georgette Heyer's first detective story! Originally published in 'Detective Magazine' in 1923.
A mysterious leakage of Cabinet documents and the trust of a very charming young person give young police detective Linckes the chance of his life. Can he find the leak? The clues are few and far between, and the suspects seem beyond reproach.
Librarian's note #1: previously only republished as part of an anthology, this Kindle edition is the first standalone reprint of Heyer's seminal short story since its initial publication.
Librarian's note #2: the story can also be found in 'Bodies from the Library,' a 16-story collection from Collins Crime Club published in 2018.
Librarian's note #3: Ms. Heyer wrote 12 detective mystery novels, among many others. This is her only short story in the same category.
