Milliners Hat Mystery

In this late case, Richardson, now a senior figure at the Yard, takes a back seat as a small team of detectives starts an investigation of the case of a unidentified, well-dressed, murdered man found dumped in a rural barn.

At first it seems simple; the victim, when identified, had disappeared after coming under suspicion of embezzling a fortune from the bank where he worked; but it quickly becomes complex, as there was a lot more to the murdered man than simple embezzlement.
