Three more 1940s cases for Detective Chief Inspector Philip Bryce. The first two are set in 1949, and follow on from The Bedroom Window Murder, The Courthouse Murder, and The Felixstowe Murder. The third is a 'prequel', going back to 1946, when Bryce - having returned to the police after army service - was a still a Detective Inspector, based in Whitechapel rather than Scotland Yard. 1. DEATH IN AN OFFICE KITCHEN In the office kitchen of a London advertising agency, a man falls to the floor, dead. Natural causes are presumed - until evidence emerges showing this cannot be the case. Chief Inspector Bryce is assigned to expose the murderer. 2. DEATH IN THE PUBLIC BATHS A body is found in the public bathhouse in St Marylebone. Bryce is tasked with discovering the identity of the victim, and his assailant. With Sergeant Haig's help, the DCI sorts the facts from the lies. 3. DEATH ON A LONDON BUS On the upper deck of an experimental London bus, a man is found dead. All of the passengers claim they saw and heard nothing. Inspector Bryce, together with colleagues from Leman Street police station, solves one of his earlier cases.
