The old school blazed like tinder and now the teacher is dead.
Mr James Elmore taught ragged children like Alfie to read in a
crazy, rotten building on the edge of the London slums.
Inspector Denham is convinced that the teacher’s death is just
a tragic accident. But Alfie doesn’t agree. He has overheard
things and seen things, and he can think of a few people who
would be pleased to have Mr Elmore out of the way for good.
Was one of these the killer?
