Scotland Yard Can Wait

A man convicted of bank robbery receives an early release with the hopes

that he will lead the police to where the 60,000 pounds has been

cached. Official investigators believe that the robber had inside

information and upon his release he would share the proceeds of the

robbery with his co-conspirators, but things become complicated when the

robber is found dead. In time, others suspected of complicity are also

murdered. Only the most intuitive investigator can unearth the truth

in this 1933 novel by David Frome which has been adapted to the American

reader.

David Frome is the pen name of Zenith Jones Brown, a.k.a. Leslie Ford. 1898-1983
