Alan Grant: Issue #3

The Franchise Affair

Plot

The Franchise is the name of a large country house in which Marion Sharpe and her mother live.

The Affair concerns the accusation by a fifteen-year-old schoolgirl that these two apparently respectable ladies kept her locked up in their attic for a month, beat her, and starved her.

In this fascinating modern version of a notorious "cause célèbre", it is the task of Robert Blair to prove the girl a liar ... if he can.
