OLD SINS CAST LONG SHADOWS

Normally dead bodies in a graveyard are buried-but not this one. When a woman is found strangled in a North London cemetery with an old newspaper clipping clutched in her hand, Inspector Witherspoon is surprised to find that he and the victim have crossed paths before. Inspector Witherspoon is called upon to handle the murder of a woman outside of his jurisdiction… She was strangled w/ a heavy red cord and left in a cemetery, in her hand was an old news clipping about Inspector Witherspoon….

Alice Robinson was a respectable widow who ran a quiet Islington lodging house. None of her lodgers have any apparent motive to murder their landlady but had recently been having problems with missing rent payments & their tenants personal items…..

But nagging suspicions are lodging in the Inspector’s mind-only he knows that “Alice Robinson” is not her real name. As it turns out, the victim, Alice Robinson, in reality was Edith Durant, the one murderess that got away before she could be apprehended & brought to justice by Inspector Witherspoon.

Elsewhere in the area are a large number of local homes experiencing burglaries, but the local “fences” & pawnshops are not the ones getting the “goods”. Witherspoon and Constable Barnes keep on finding more clues and many dark secrets as they turn over stones during their investigation.

Now he’ll need the help of Mrs. Jeffries to revisit an old case that has haunted him for years and to get the real story.
