Sinclair is seeking a discharge from the force but becomes involved in the case of a dying friend whose daughter Minnie is secretly meeting a disreputable fellow detective. That detective's discovery that she will be almost penniless after her father's death, and Sinclair's discovery that the unpleasant Dr Annan has brutally and illegally carried out a post-mortem on his friend [graphic] causes further grief.
