Mr. and Mrs. Bunting desperately need money; fortunately, Mr. Sleuth, the man who offers to rent a room from them, seems a perfect gentleman. He does have some eccentric habits, though, such as secrecy and late-night expeditions. As a serial killer terrorizes the city, Mrs. Bunting begins to wonder if their lodger is the killer. What should the Buntings do? Risk losing their income by talking to the police, especially when they're not sure?
A non-speculative mystery-suspense story.
