Antony Maitland #14 Antony Maitland has two problems to deal with: a friend has asked him to help an actor who is afraid he may be accused of arson, and a juror on Maitland's case has revealed that an attempt has been made to bribe him. When the actor's fears are realized, and the juror also commits suicide, Maitland can't help getting involved. Before the end, Maitland himself is suspected not only of being behind the attempted bribery, but is arrested for murder as well. And his Uncle Nicholas is away in New York, and will not be pleased to come back and find his nephew in the hands of the police.
