Mr. Pinkerton: Passage for One

"Suppose you were taking a walk in the dense fog of a London afternoon.

Suppose a beautiful girl came running desperately toward you, the sound

of her pursuers echoing close behind her. Sinner on saint? Not Mr.

Pinkerton! `In here quick!' he whispered. And then it all began--the

corpse with the knife in his back, the disappearance of the fabulous

Hawtrey diamond, the strange events in the sinister house of Portman

Square. It was a case for Inspector Bull of Scotland Yard and he solved

it brilliantly-with the help of Mr. Pinkerton, of course. This is a

mystery with the impact of a pistol shot, by an author who knows how to

deliver thrills and chills the way you like them.11. Mr. Pinkerton: Passage for One (1945)
