Just pen! But this is the story of a man who commits murder and gets away with it. Does the idea shock you? Do you believe that justice must always be done? But let's be honest with ourselves.

You and I needn't be cynics to know that justice is very seldom done. Innocence, flinchers, guilt, is childlike and bland. Innocence is imposed upon you. Guilt can encompass all things, even a successful murder. And I know this because I was the murderer, you say?

Oh no. Inquire Scotland Yard. I was the victim. In Barn Street, not far from Piccadilly, there used to be an establishment, which in a less fashionable part of town would have been called a shop.

Under windows, in letters and as discrete as a visiting card, where the words Charles Markham antique deal. Such a delightful fellow Markham. Such a character. Thirty years ago, yes, as long as that, this antique shop was a dingy place.
