Stepney, London, England - October 10
When Frank Bellman takes a day off work because
of a stomach upset, it doesn't occur to him that he
is the only one to have done so. With just one exception,
every member of staff at a chemical factory he and George
Parsons own has also been absent. The one exception
is a new receptionist, Miss Royce, who was at the factory
to receive telephoned apologies for absence. Yet, nothing
is missing, nor has anything been tampered with, and
local observers vow that nothing seemed unusual at the
plant; they saw the daily shift arrive and normal tanker
deliveries being accepted and unloaded. Can Department
S unravel the mystery?
