Scotland Yard regards solicitor Josh Clunk as a hymn-singing hypocrite, a courtroom opponent of the worst sort, and as a criminal himself. But even Inspector Bell has to admit that in the case of the Red Castle, which starts with a murdered man in London and ends in rural England at a lonely cabin, Clunk came through to stop a dangerous crime and save at least one life.
