May 2003

Lord Arthur Savile has it all. He is rich, well educated and, in his fiancée Sybil, has found the perfect match.
However, his future mother-in-law has her doubts about Lord Arthur. To satisfy herself as to Lord Arthur’s future conduct, she insists that he submit himself to the dubious talents of Mr Podgers, renowned cheiromantist.
When Mr Podgers informs Lord Arthur that he will commit a murder at some point in the future, Arthur comes to the natural conclusion that the only reasonable course of action is to get it out of the way before his impending marriage.
With the assistance of Baines, his faithful butler, he concentrates all of his intellect on a swift and publicity free conclusion…
