Chapter One
"I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury." George Burns.
What you’re about to read is a rather special investigative case I handled for a friend, and may help explain why marriage vows don’t include the word ‘trust’.
My name is John Bradstone, and for the past 40 years I’ve run a detective and security agency for executives in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
My friend, Charles Winters, had just gone through a divorce when he hired my firm to look into it. Yes, that’s right, he wanted us to investigate everything after his divorce had finished. My firm doesn’t accept divorce cases, but Charles was an old friend and so I agreed to look into the matter.
Charles was 24 years old when he met his now ex-wife Elspith. He was also a millionaire thanks to his grandfather, who left Charles a large stock portfolio in trust until he turned 21.
Elspith was 26 years old when Charles and her first met. She was working as a carhop at the White Spot on Lougheed Highway in Burnaby, and quite friendly. Charles eventually asked her out.
Elspith was married when she met Charles, and had been waiting six years for her divorce to finalize. Elspith got her divorce the year she and Charles met, and married Charles the next year.
Charles was a third-generation Vancouverite. His grandfather, John, emigrated from England to Vancouver in the late 1800’s, and started a construction company. John expanded the business to include importing and exporting.
Charles’ father ran the family businesses until he sold all but the property rental company in the late 1950’s. Charles’ father wanted to spend more time with his family, so he purchased 15 acres of property on Panorama Ridge in Surrey and
