The Immaterial Murder Case

In pre-war London wealthy American John Wilson associates with a group of avant-garde artists dedicated to a new movement dubbed "Immaterialism". When a body turns up in one of the artworks, Wilson calls in his cousin the amateur detective Teak Woode who proves to be rather incompetent when compared to the more measured Chief Inspector Bland.
