    Summary

    This is the final story in the Investigations and Acquisitions main arc (although not the final I&A story), in which the threat to London becomes clear, and old friends and acquaintances are called in to help in the fight. This tale is about relationships, hidden truths discovered, family, and the longing for home.

    Acknowledgements: Agatha Christie once more, and to elements of The Thin Man series, both in Dashiell Hammett's novel and in the film adaptations of W.S.Van Dyke/Goodrich and Hackett. As always, there are elements from Spooks (aka MI5).

    Written in Spring 2004.
