Plot introduction

Just returned from years overseas on a secret mission, Albert Campion is relaxing in his bath when his servant Magersfontein Lugg and a lady of unmistakably aristocratic bearing appear in his flat carrying the corpse of a woman. At first Campion is unwilling to get involved, but he is forced to bring his powers of detection to bear on the case, and to solve not only the mystery of the murdered woman but also the alarming disappearance of some well-known art treasures. Campion discovers the clue to the mystery by tracing two bottles of a very rare wine.

gollark: The energy is a property of the photon similarly to frequency and stuff, the energy doesn't have frequency either, but can I just say that trying to brute-force your way to coherent-sounding wording is not a path to great understanding.
gollark: Why does the energy have a wavelength now?
gollark: It isn't a wording problem.
gollark: What? That's obviously impossible.
gollark: It's energy *per photon*. The power of each wavelength emitted varies according to that graph there.
