Francis Hammerton is arrested and convicted of involvement with a
gang of confidence men--a charge of which he is entirely
innocent--but escapes police custody when a cell door is left
unlocked. He finds refuge at a nearby boarding house, but is
arrested again when he discovers (and reports) the murdered body of
an upstairs tenant--and then is unjustly accused of murder. The
dead man had been suspected of a major bank fraud, and was being
investigated by a private detective firm. Francis secures the
services of Mr. Jellipot, whom his father had known, and although
Jellipot isn't a criminal attorney, he agrees to handle the case.
And then, piece by patient piece, the little solicitor begins
fitting together the shadowy pieces of this complex series of
crimes. But can he find the true culprit in time, and also get
Francis exonerated of the offense for which he's already been
convicted? An absolutely gripping crime novel from the 1930s
