Clue of the New Pin

The plot kicks in with the unwelcome appearance of Wellington Brown, a drunken old associate of Trasmere, who threatens the old man unless he hands over substantial amounts of cash. Soon after Tab and Inspector Carver find Trasmere shot to death and locked inside his own vault - with the only key inside with him and the gun missing! And then there is the matter of how a set of jewels stolen from Ursula Ardfern also ended up in the strong room. The only clue is a pin found at the scene of the crime ...

Ok mystery with a grand performance by Paul Daneman, a fairly involving story and an ingenious murder which reels you in to find out how the fiend did it. However, this entry is mildly distracting and lacked some excitement.
