Review:
This has lots of wonderful Holmes deductions. Clue upon clue build up the puzzle with a clever twist to the take. Thoroughly enjoyable except for the poor acting on behalf of "His Lordship".

	The heavy white face was seamed with lines of trouble
	What is the theory in your mind
	Beside him stood a very young man
	Sketch map showing the locality
	An impression like a fine bundle of telegraph wires ran down the centre of it
	There lay the unfortunate rider
	With difficulty he limped up to the door
	The man flew past us on the road
	I heard him chuckle as the light fell upon a patched Dunlop tire
	The murderer has escaped
