A classic mystery. A young American author in London , influenced by Chesterton's Napoleon of Notting Hill, (to which this novel introduced me long ago) goes walking in that district, stops for tea and overhears two women discussing a plan that appears to include kidnaping and possibly murder. Scotland Yard is skeptical of his report, but Col. Gethryn is interested.
pm writes well but this story was kinda stupid.
One of the GREATEST!
