Mr. Fred Grange claims to work as a clerk for a biscuit company, but he’s out and about on the London streets at odd hours, and girl detective Maisie Hitchins soon discovers something very precious hidden in his rooms. Maisie is determined to unmask him as a thief, but the truth is far more complicated–and dangerous.
