A woman's dismembered corpse is discovered in a suitcase, and
police quickly identify her husband, Doctor Ibrahim Aziz, as their
chief suspect. Incriminating evidence is discovered at his home and
his wife was rumoured to be having an affair, giving him clear
motive. With his reputation for winning hopeless cases, barrister
Arthur Skelton is asked to represent the accused. Though Aziz's
guilt does not seem to be in doubt, a question of diplomacy and
misplaced larvae soon lead Skelton to suspect there may be more to
the victim's death. Aided by his loyal clerk Edgar, Skelton soon
finds himself seeking justice for both victim and defendant. But
can he uncover the truth before an innocent man is put on trial and
condemned to the gallows?
