The Sign in the Sky

Mr Satterthwaite attends the trial of young Martin Wylde accused of murder.  Shortly after the guilty verdict is returned, Satterthwaite runs into his mysterious friend Harley Quin.  Can they prove Wylde’s innocence or did he really kill the beautiful Vivien Barnaby?

Mr Satterthwaite is intrigued, led and guided in his thinking by the slim, saturnine Mr Harley Quin, who ‘comes and goes’ often in a most peculiar and unpredictable manner.  In this story he has to go all the way to Banff in Canada to solve the mystery.
