El honorable Lewis Brading tenía la manía del coleccionismo. Pero así como otros coleccionan sellos, monedas u obras de arte, su afición eran las joyas relacionadas con hechos de sangre. Tan tétrica manía, además de definir en cierta medida a quien la padecía, no podía significar nada bueno. Y, por supuesto, no fue bueno que míster Brading apareciera asesinado en el búnker donde guardaba su colección ni que los posibles autores del crimen fueran personas más allá de toda sospecha.

Work Description

A collector enlists Miss Silver’s help when his valuable jewels attract criminal attention.

He cannot say why, but Lewis Brading is an uneasy man. A collector of valuable jewels, he has taken the utmost precautions to safeguard what is most precious to him. He houses his gems in a concrete annex, protected by a reinforced steel door, the latest security system, and his own watchful eye. No one has a key but himself and his assistant, and he doesn’t doubt that his servant will remain true. The man in his employ is a criminal, and if anything should happen to Brading or his gems, the police will look to him first.

And yet, he suspects something may be wrong. He consults Maud Silver, the demure detective, and she tells him to fire his assistant and send his collection to a museum. Ignoring her advice may be the last mistake Lewis Brading ever makes.
