AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In shabby clothes and frayed collar, John Stratton stood watching the life and bustle outside the post office, conscious that his position was desperate. A grey motorcar, a pretty girl, and a dropped pocket-book, temporarily send up his stock.

'Then comes the murder on Henley beach, the police and—danger. John Stratton has to confess that he is in rather a tight corner; but there are always the blue eyes of the girl in the grey car.

'As Chief Inspector Edis remarked once "John, you're a smart fellow right enough," and it was Stratton's quickness of brain that enabled him to evade the net that at one time seemed likely to ensnare him.'
