Sir Horace Fewbanks, a distinguished High Court judge of Hampstead in England has been killed by a gun shot. The private detective Crewe is investigating the case. Crewe is a wealthy bachelor who has taken up crime detection as a hobby, because it provides intellectual challenges more satisfying even than playing twelve simultaneous boards against Russian chess champion Turgieff.
