The Body on the Beam

Florence Penny, one of the lodgers at 39 Menzies Street, a rundown London boarding house, is discovered in her room one morning hanging from a beam. At first considered a tragic suicide, Inspector Field's enquiries begin to throw an air of mystery over the case. When he makes an arrest for murder, it is the wrong man. Fortunately Scott Egerton is on hand to solve the case.
