"The Goff Place Mystery" remained unsolved, the body of the murdered pawnbroker never found. On the night of the killing, a bus had parked on the narrow cul-de-sac. Witnesses saw two elderly passengers dozing. Later, a ghastly trail of blood led from the pawnbroker's stairs to this dead-end street. From these scanty clues, Scotland Yard Superintendent Charles Luke had come up with a most farfetched theory - even the imperturbable Albert Campion had doubts when the evidence took them to a dusty curio museum called Tether's End.
