After the death of her father, an archaeologist, Anne Beddingfeld finds herself completely penniless. She has lived in the country all her life. Now she wants to build a new, independent existence in London. Returning from an unsuccessful job interview, she is standing on the platform of the Hyde Park Corner subway station. She faces a man, who looks over her shoulder and is so startled that he staggers, falls onto the tracks and is killed. A doctor is immediately on the scene, but can only pronounce him dead. The doctor suddenly disappears, but loses a small note. Anne picks up the note. It says: 17. 122 Kilmorden Castle. Gröls Classics - English Editionweiterlesen
