Enter the Corpse — Sara Woods

The black sheep of the family Mr. Hubert Denning is being released from prison where he has been serving a term for robbery. He has nowhere to go and is taken in by his god-son Roger Farrell. Before Denning even reaches the home Roger and his actress wife, Meg Hamilton, discover the body of one of Denning's former 'employees' in the hall of their home. Roger begs the help of his friend barrister, Antony Maitland, to find out who killed the man and also to manage to keep the matter out of the papers. Gold bullion excites the greed of many underworld characters who know Denning stashed some of his last haul away for safe keeping.
