‘His Last Bow’ – which is the best story?

The Spring Meeting at the National Liberal Club on 23 March revived a classic format. Eight people each chose (or were allotted) one of the eight stories in that rather under-rated collection 'His Last Bow', and attempted to convince the audience that theirs was the best in the book. As the organiser Catherine Cooke said afterwards, it was a very lively and entertaining meeting with some interesting views of the different cases. (For the record, 'The Devil's Foot' was the clear winner.)
