Set in the capital and the north of England. A Canadian Huron Indian is abandoned in England when the showman who brought him over with a group of American Indians returns to the States without him or an American Sioux Indian who has disappeared also. The Huron had tracked and killed the Sioux for stealing his wages. The detective who had recently lost his younger talented partner agrees to take the Huron on as his employee - dressing him in British clothes rather than his Canadian suit. A case of murder in the North of England calls on both their skills - and the Indian's amazing sense of smell and tracking skills find the murderer is the man who employed them - as a cover for his deed. The murderer, nearly burnt by the Indian for attempting to kill him, confesses then commits suicide. Situation/subject interesting. (PB)
