Strange Ending

Commander Bobby Owen had been on assignment in the United States when the 'Banquet Murder' was committed in one of the flats at No.7, Mayfair Crescent, London. Hugh Newton was found dressed in a chef's cap and apron, with his mouth stuffed full of feathers. Evidence in the flat showed he had been preparing an extraordinary meal for two. Bobby Owen is intrigued by the unsolved case and reopens investigations. Apart from the culinary angle, Owen's suspicions are aroused by other residents of the flats at No.7. There is Peter Pyne, now resident in the flat where the murder was committed. And then there’s the basement resident, Jasper Jordan, the legally-astute leader of a small Nihilist group, and locally infamous as a trouble-maker, especially when he’s confronted by the police. And there is also a mysterious young lady who is hanging around the flats. Owen has his work cut out for him, but his renowned investigatorial skills soon come to the fore. This is the 31st book in the Bobby Owen series.
