Much had been risked, and the murderer had escaped by such a rare
combination of chances. Elderly invalid Simon Ewing was bludgeoned
in his maisonette and a stranger was seen exiting the building by
several of the residents. The murderer had entered-and escaped-in
just a few minutes when Ewing was left unattended, implying that
someone knew the movements of both his household and the
neighbours. Who would run such a risk in a building with multiple
comings and goings? Robbery appears to be the motive, but why was
only one ring taken from Ewing's secret hoard of valuable
jewellery? A second death leads Detective-Inspector Woods to
untangle exactly who was where in the crucial minutes before the
murder. Dorothy Erskine Muir (1889-1977) was one of seventeen
children of John Sheepshanks, Bishop of Norwich. She attended
Oxford, worked as an academic tutor, and began writing
professionally to supplement the family income after the unexpected
death of her husband in 1932. Muir published historical biographies
and local histories, as well as three accomplished detective
novels: In Muffled Night (1933), Five to Five (1934) and In Memory
of Charles (1941). Each is an intricate fictional account based on
an unsolved true crime.
