About This Book
A Simon Brade Detective Story
"You’ll see the papers tomorrow, so you’ll know that Lord Serbridge has been killed — murdered..."
First, Colin Sleet, a hack journalist, commits suicide. Then, Timothy Serbridge, the baby son of Sleet's employer, is kidnapped. Penny Pengold, the Serbridges' governess, is ordered to invite the brilliant amateur detective Simon Brade to Olachan House, the family's remote Scottish estate, in order to help discover the missing child's whereabouts. Thankfully, the kidnapping turns out to be a false alarm - but in the confusion, no one remembers to tell Brade. Which is just as well. For when Brade eventually arrives at Olachan House, he finds that Lord Serbridge has been murdered... Can Brade find the culprit before anyone else is killed? And could a crossword and some stamps really hold the key?
Originally published in 1938, this is a vintage murder mystery from the golden age of crime fiction.
