The Holborn Murders
£8.99
December 1915 is rather cheerless for most of the population of Britain, as the war rumbles on into its second Christmas. The department stores of London are still bulging at the seams, however, with shoppers looking for gifts to send to the men at the Front. Nowhere is more popular than Gamages store in Holborn, an establishment that specialises in appropriate gifts for men and entertainment for children, with its toy displays, Christmas Bazaar and magic shows.
However, tragedy strikes in the form of the brutal murder of the store’s magician, in full view of his audience, and the Mayfair 100 team are called in to make some discreet enquiries. There follows a further murder attempt, whilst they are investigating, but nothing is as shocking as the news that, in the same neighbourhood, a young actress, from the Holborn Empire, has been killed and one of their own team is implicated in the death.
