novel by Freeman Wills Crofts, once dubbed ‘The King of Detective
Story Writers’. THE PUZZLE OF THE PURPLE SICKLE The suicide of a
sales clerk at the box office of a London cinema leaves another
girl in fear for her life. Persuaded to seek help from Scotland
Yard, Miss Darke confides in Inspector Joseph French about a
gambling scam by a mysterious trio of crooks and that she believes
her friend was murdered. When the girl fails to turn up the next
day, and the police later find her body, French’s inquiries

their jobs and by a sinister stranger with a purple scar . . .
