A Haunted Library
It is forty years since the ghost of a dead librarian
haunted the old library, yet the stories have begun again.
Kate does not believe in ghosts but obligingly takes part in
a ceremony to expel the restless spirit. Shockingly, there
is a body in the basement, strangled, and covered in dusty
volumes from a fallen bookcase. It is Dr. Potter, a
mathematician.
A Killer on the Loose
Dr. Potter’s body is taken away. The police find a sick man
sheltering in the basement. He is an Italian, Umberto, an
organ grinder and owner of a lively Capuchin monkey. Umberto
becomes the prime suspect and will be charged with murder.
Kate goes with Umberto to the infirmary. But he is too weak
to be a suspect. And now Kate must set out to find the real
culprit...
