Controversy raged as to the truth of the charge or the likelihood of fraud. But the successive murders of astute criminologist and innocent boy himself left little room for doubt. Meanwhile Caspar, bandied conspicuously from one guardian to another-a double-faced English lord in the pay of the court, a neurotic, lustful woman, a self-righteous bully...
