Of course, its far more complex than that. Authorities believe Sir Oliver Dromio was hit over the head with a revolver then burned in his studys fireplace. Theres also the matter of Olivers brothers. The late baronet was a triplet who lost his two brothers in a fire forty years ago. Was Olivers murder an act of retribution?
