Excerpt: ..."A few more deaths and you would be in a position to command tribute from a high quarter, Monsieur." "Your mind seems to turn upon assassination. If you know so much about Stroebel's death, it's unfortunate that you left Europe at a time when you might have rendered important aid in finding the murderer.
