| A tall dark-haired man with sharp features is following the investigators. He made his first appearance after [[Dr Bartlett]] returned from Herefordshire.
| | #redirect [[The Tall Man]] |
| | |
| First he turned up in Dr Bartlett's street, pretending to be a taxi driver, looking for the Doctor's house.
| |
| | |
| Then he appeared at Victoria barracks with a parcel for [[Captain George Withers]]. The parcel contained a house brick - and was apparently delivered purely to identify Withers' billet.
| |
| | |
| Thirdly he intercepted [[Andrew Saunders]] during a taxi ride and theatened the curator with violence if he and his friends didn't "forget all about this business'. He also said "You have no hope of stopping what these men intend, and any attempt will only result in pain." He stayed in the shadows throughout, so Saunders never got a good look at his face.
| |
| | |
| The tall man is English, working class and apparently violent. He wears a long dark coat over a cheap suit, drives a non-descript black car (possibly a Morris) and has unkempt, greasy black hair.
| |
| | |
| In addition to these sightings, one of the suspects in the murder of [[Dr Lionel Trollope]] fits his description.
