Appartiene alle SerieThe Baron (40)
When John Mannering (aka 'The Baron') set out to value on old lady's paintings, blackmail, arson and murder followed. A young girl almost paid with her life for keeping silent, houses were destroyed to prevent detection, and Mannering was in instant peril of losing his life. The battle was for the truth - who was blackmailing whom and why - tested every skill he possessed. Breughel, Vermeer and other masterpieces meant big money - but brought big trouble for 'The Baron'.

He's summoned by an older woman to look at some paintings in her attic, when he gets there she's been attacked and her house is on fire, he sends the paintings to the police and proceeds to investigate the situation, his interest piqued. It's complicated and messy and Mannering is apparently having a ball of a time.
It's not a scenario that would work today but it's an entertaining snapshot of the time and a messy mystery that is quite a lot of fun. ( )
