HE DIED BECAUSE.....

Dr. William Blow, absentminded Man of Letters and Professor (numismatics) Gideon Manciple were last seen in Dead Against My Principles. Their detecting methods remain the same as they dither over Blow's murdered housekeeper-- senile craftiness that drives the police and Scotland Yard balmy, an ancient innocence that keeps them safe in the face of active evil and a huge erudition in their fields. Last time we said ""Polite and potty""; this time-- ""Still dear and just as dotty"".
