The cat's eye, by R. Austin Freeman (1862 - 1943)
The brother of a lawyer is murdered apparently in an attempted robbery and by a sheer accident Ms Blake happens to be there. Her life is in danger as she declared that she could recognize the murderer. Robert Anstey, the KC who is an associate of the medico-legal expert Dr Thorndyke had been there too and his interest in the case became two-fold - to help Thorndyke and to admire Ms Blake. (Summary by Yoganandh T)

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!
