Whinfrey's Last Case

A national hero, Gerald Whinfrey, turns down an assignment to research rumors that Germany has started World War I a year ahead of schedule. Instead he'd rather get the holiday in that he wants so badly. His destination is a tiny Cornish fishing village, where things aren't as they seem.
