Inspector Hornleigh

When a landlady finds one of her tenants murdered, Inspector Hornleigh is sent to investigate. Inspector Hornleigh's assistant, Sergeant Bingham, soon finds an attaché case that had been stolen from the murdered man.

The documents have been taken, and to make things even more confusing, a duplicate of the stolen bag soon turns up.
