A stenographer arrives at 19 Wilbraham Crescent for a typing job and finds a dead man in the blind homeowner’s sitting room. The victim has no identification, and the homeowner denies sending for any typist. Meanwhile, intelligence officer Colin Lamb is in the neighbourhood pursuing a separate lead—one that involves sensitive government information.
The case weaves together two threads: a murder that turns on inheritance and mistaken identity, and a shadowy operation to pass secrets. Poirot will untangle both from his armchair.
Your mission: Use SQL to meet the people involved, trace the timeline of events, piece together motives and connections, and reveal who killed the victim—and who was passing government secrets.
