Hide My Eyes // Tether's End // Ten Were Missing — Margery Allingham

THE CORPSE WENT BY BUS

“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 scantly clues, Scotland Yard Superintendent Charles Luke had come up with a most farfetched theory, and even the imperturbable Albert Champion had doubts when the evidence took them to a dusty curio museum called Tether's End.
