The case is swiftly handed over to Detective Sergeant John Billings of Scotland Yard.</p><p><br></p><p>As Billings delves deeper into the case, he finds that all the clues to the mysterious disappearance lead back to one man; the enigmatic German butler who had recently been employed by Dunne-Smythe. The butler appears to have had a disproportionate amount of influence on the family. After looking into the butler’s past, Billings discovers a dark and disturbing secret which may well put the lives of Dunne-Smythe and his relatives in danger. What initially seemed like a simple case of theft, now looks like something far more sinister.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>CAST</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Billings - David Ault</p><p>Desk Sergeant - Tim Keogh</p><p>Rachel Kemp - Tanya Rich</p><p>Clarkson - Bob Lawrence</p><p>Jack - Sarah Bowers</p><p>Flynt - Ivan Wilkinson</p><p>Miss Carew - Sally Swift</p><p>Cook - Flloyd Kennedy</p><p>Willy Guntz - Aubrey Parsons</p><p>Mrs Dunne-Smythe - Sarah Bowers</p><p>Eugene - Luke Mulloy</p><p>Alice - Nicky Patrick</p><p>Mr Dunne-Smythe - Karim Kronfli</p><p>Mrs Appleby - Tanya Rich</p><p>Young Man in the Park - Cody Sloan</p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://ko-fi.com/audiomysterytheatre\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Thank you for your donations.</a></p>","author_name":"Olivier Bosman"}
