Robert Grant

In the short story The Adventure of the Dartmoor Bungalow (later, chapters 3 and 4 of The Big Four), Robert Grant was a servant of Jonathan Whalley at his house "The Granite Bungalow" at Hoppator in Dartmoor. He had formerly been "Abraham Briggs" and had been convicted for felony and housebreaking some five years earlier. Two months before the events in the story, Grant had been released from prison. He met a man named Saunders from a prisoner help society. Saunders helped Grant secure a job with Whalley. After the murder of Whalley, the evidence against Grant seemed overwhelming and he was arrested by Inspector Meadows. Poirot was, however, able to exonerate him.
