No--but at the end of this novel you will understand why he might claim to have done so.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSir William Pelle has become a missing person, and Superintendent Wharton of the Yard is prioritizing his recovery. But when Pelle is found murdered, there are serious questions to answer. Was the well-to-do jewellery-handler the victim of a well-planned robbery? And why was the corpse partly covered in sugar?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeveral of the enigmatic figures formerly surrounding the deceased are going to repay close scrutiny; as is the importance of the army corporal who keeps weaving in and out of the story. It will take all Travers's customary acuity to bring the case to a successful conclusion--and eventually to explain his assertion of committing murder himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Case of the Corporal's Leave\u003c\/em\u003e was originally published in 1945.
