...traitors down to two men. One, William Ludley, had resigned shortly after the atrocity, when he inherited his family fortune, and never returned to England. In the absence of hard evidence, officials interpreted Ludley's self-exile as incriminating and deduced the innocence of Leslie Baldwin, the other suspect. Assume a complication. Baldwin is now in line for a sensitive embassy post in Washington. Security people cannot approve his promotion without clearing up past questions. Ludley, now living well beyond the reach of punishment, must be persuaded to tell the truth about that distant act of treason...
