Publisher's Synopsis
"I must see you to-night without fail. Meet me at the crossroads between Beston Tracey and the Eastbourne Road. I shall be there at eleven o'clock, and, if you want to preserve your life, you had better bring me a substantial installment of the money you owe me." The letter was signed "Vassalaro."
"He must be mad to write a letter like this," John Lexman said to the Greek, Kara. "I'll meet the little devil and teach him such a lesson in politeness as he is never likely to forget!"
"Will you pay him?" said Kara.
John made no answer.
"Then you'd better take your revolver," said the Greek.
