Publisher's Synopsis
This second book of Ernest Dudley's stories about his London-based private eye character, Nat Craig, finds Craig's clients making up a pretty varied collection. Young, wealthy women getting themselves blackmailed; wealthier men or women who have the jitters over the safety of their precious family heirlooms; occasionally even members of the ex-crook class, all appeal to him for help. And not infrequently Craig finds himself confronted with grisly murders, testing his tough resourcefulness and considerable powers of deduction.
