A matter of the greatest delicacy. I fear we have welcomed something dreadful into our house.Three weeks ago, a young woman appeared on the road outside the village, alone, exhausted and dressed in the most extraordinary clothing. Nobody could understand a word she said. Then a guest at Mowbray Hall, a traveller who spent many years in the East Indies, recognised her language. She is, he explains, Princess Amara of Sembala, an island kingdom east of Celebes, whose father was murdered in a rebellion.The heir to the house has fallen in love with her, although he has been engaged for eleven months to an elegant young woman who is not amused. At dinner, a red-faced veteran of the Colonial Service announces that he has travelled those waters extensively and never heard of the place.The Belgian Detective and our narrator have barely arrived. Before midnight, a pistol shot cracks from somewhere beyond the rose garden.ℹ️ FOR LISTENERSThis is an original mystery written by Nocturnal Tales, inspired by the spirit of the great Golden Age crime writers and by the true story of Princess Caraboo, who fooled a Gloucestershire household in 1817 — but the plot, characters and text are entirely our own creation.

He promises the resurrection of a scandal that has slept for a hundred and sixty years.Around his table: his second wife; his daughter by his first marriage; a former Under-Secretary at the Home Office; a red-faced Member of Parliament; a newspaper proprietor; an historian; and a wealthy American widow. Sir Alistair has arranged the seating so that they will quarrel. They do.Then he announces that he holds evidence of a secret arrangement behind the famous Number Forty-Five, and that certain reputations were purchased at the expense of constitutional liberty. The papers are in a dispatch box in the library, in full view of everyone.He withdraws to his study to take a telephone call and locks the door behind him. The minutes pass. When the door is forced, Sir Alistair lies dead beside his desk — and documents have vanished from a box that nobody touched.ℹ️ FOR LISTENERSThis is an original mystery written by Nocturnal Tales, inspired by the spirit of the great Golden Age crime writers and by the real eighteenth-century radical John Wilkes — but the plot, characters and text are entirely our own creation.
