“What,” Mason asked, “do you want me to do?”
“Find out about the blackmail, and if possible get the money back before the other relatives can find out about it.”
Mason smiled, and said, “That’s rather a large order.”
“It would be for most people. You can take it in your stride.”
“Have you any clues?” Mason asked.
