Read by Clive Mantle
Barcelona, 1912 - a city still recovering from the dramatic incidents of
the so-called "Tragic Week" when Catalonian conscripts bound for the unpopular
war in Spanish Morocco had rebelled at the city's dockside against the royalist
forces. In the fighting, many were killed, and afterward, even more imprisoned,
including an Englishman, who was later found dead in his cell.
The dead man had been a prominent businessman in Gibraltar, so what was he
doing in Barcelona? And how did he really meet his end-murdered, in a prison
cell? The case, in Gibraltar's view, cries out for investigation-and by someone
independent of the Spanish authorities. So Scotland Yard dispatches Seymour of
the Special Branch.
