Summary
But here, now, was my chance. I was not the young master to Jeeves now - in fact, Jeeves, in his current role, had no y. m. at all. He was a gentleman of means and breeding, and I a rather fantastically attired birdcatcher of presumably Viennese extraction; and two such fellows could hold a conversation without any wayward “sirs” inserting themselves where they were not wanted.
Or: In which a gentleman and his valet both attend a masquerade under false pretences.

Summary
Poirot hesitated, releasing a little sigh. He smoothed a wrinkle from the surface of the blanket covering his lap. “I would like, Hastings," he said, "for you to examine with me a different set of facts.”
“Yes?” Hastings responded, immediately attentive. Unable, as he had always been, to resist such an invitation; though Poirot noted that there was already a furrow of unease creasing his brow.
“Consider, for example,” Poirot continued carefully, “for how many years you have remained my dearest friend and companion. How often, in that time, I have remarked upon your exceedingly beautiful nature, unlike that of any other person I have known. Consider my great and visible joy at your arrival, which I have scarcely endeavored to conceal from you; or how I have taken such pride in your Judith’s strong will and intelligence, as much as I might in my own child —” He broke off, then glanced up and added gravely, “Is it not evident, Hastings, what you have meant in my life?”

Summary
Seven years ago, Damen was part of the trial that condemned Auguste de Vere, a famous figure skater, for the brutal murder of his parents and three of the children he abused.
Years later, he's still a lawyer, working on his family's farm while trying to navigate his own struggles. Auguste's case is far behind him—or so he thought—until he receives a call from Auguste's brother, Laurent.
Laurent, now behind bars too, pleads for Damen's help. Damen's life, already on the verge of breaking, takes another turn when Laurent insists on his brother's innocence and accuses Damen of wrongdoing in having Auguste condemned.
Between the lies of the past and the untold truths of the present, Damen must figure out whom to trust.
