A Letter from Her Cousin
A Few Lines That Change Everything
The telegram comes from Samuel — her cousin, spending the summer at his uncle's house in a seaside town she has not seen in more than twenty years. He writes with the easy nonchalance of his usual charm. And then, almost in passing, he writes something else:
“It’s not all blue skies in my uncle’s paradise. There is a master thief around. People are losing their family jewels, and the police are nowhere close to catching the artist.
Not that I’m much bothered by rich people losing valuables, but I remember how much you loved solving mysteries when we were younger. You see through things… through people.
I know you know where I’m going with this. How do you feel about visiting Summerset?”
— Samuel
