You are on the staff of Bellamy & Crane, a private enquiry agency in London, run by Mr Oswald Bellamy, once of the Metropolitan Police. In January 1921 Miss Imogen Vane hired the agency to find her fiancé, Captain Edmund Hale, missing since March 1918 and declared dead. On St Valentine's Day six bouquets arrived at her guardian's house in Kensington Square, two from senders who gave no name; by morning her guardian, Sir Reginald Calloway, was dead. Follow the six bouquets through the file, and find out who must answer for his death.
