The Man from the Queue. A Shilling for Candles

A man was stabbed in the queue for theater tickets. He has no identification on him. No one is looking for him. Even the labels from his quite expensive clothes have been meticulously removed.

He believes: it is enough to find at least the slightest clue – and a thread from it will lead to the killer… A famous actress is found murdered on the beach. The main suspect is a young man to whom she bequeathed her entire fortune. The young gigolo has gotten what he wanted and got rid of his aging mistress – such is the common opinion. But Detective Alan Grant of Scotland Yard finds this version too obvious. He quickly discovers: the victim had many enemies, and both the motives and the opportunity to kill her were practically available to everyone…
