Christmas cards were scattered across the floor. Captain Wilder lay on his side, his shattered face partially hidden.
“Suicide?” asked Connor, eying the pistol on the ground. “He was known as a gambler.”
Sir James crouched over the corpse. “No. The bullet entered on right side of the head. Wilder was left-handed.”
He picked up one of the cards and started reading, then reached for a second and a third. “Not gambling, Connor, but blackmail. Wilder’s season of goodwill started with extortion.”
“So the murderer will be on his card list?”
Sir James stood up. “See whose card is missing.”
