Frances & the Navajo - The Mystery of the Vanishing Bullets. Jon Jones

Frances meets Navajo after saving him from two attackers. Navajo reveals he is a private detective who deals with old cases for high wealth individuals and asks Frances to join him on his current case. Hugh Baxter-Wright has been killed, by a vanishing bullet, thirteen months earlier. The office door is locked, the window closed and there is no trace of a bullet. The police have failed to close the case so Mrs Baxter-Wright cannot claim her large insurance settlement so she employs them to solve the mystery. A number of suspects are interviewed; family members that seem shadowy and employees who appear evasive. On a visit to see the family solicitor he too is shot, and again the bullet vanishes. When they re-examine all the clues Navajo suddenly realises how the murder was committed and how to catch the murderer.
