Gideon's Month (U)

Commander George Gideon's month starts quietly enough at Scotland Yard. Crime seems to be taking a holiday in the sunny weather. But the lull is not for long; with the case of the ill-treated child, the case of the murdered receiver, the case of the wife who jumped backwards out of the window, Gideon's month is busy enough - and there are other cases besides.
