The Peculiar Case Of Lord Finsbury's Diamonds: A Casebook Of Barnaby Adair Short Novel (The Casebook Of Barnaby Adair) - Plot & Excerpts
The man had worked under him on several cases and was one of those officers on Stokes’s list for co-opting. O’Donnell’s particular talent lay in appearing unremarkable, and he was thus very effective in extracting information while working out of uniform. O’Donnell was quick to present himself at Stokes’s office door. “You wanted me, sir?” Stokes waved him in. “I have to spend the day at the Old Bailey, but the murder I was called out to yesterday has a victim whose recent movements I would dearly like to know.” Succinctly, he outlined what they knew of Mitchell’s journey back to town and his subsequent return to Finsbury Court. “I know it won’t be easy, and may be a complete waste of time, but I’d like you to see if you can glean any hint of where Mitchell went when he returned to town. Where did he stay, who with, and did he go anywhere else before getting back on the coach to Hampstead two days later?” O’Donnell snapped off a salute. “I’ll give it my best shot, sir.” Stokes hid a grin.
