About this book
When Adele Pleydell is snatched by the criminal 'Rose' Noble and held against a ransom of jewels, Jonathan Mansel, Richard Chandos, and George Hanbury give chase across the mountains of southern Europe to bring her back. What follows is a lean pursuit thriller built on ambushes, hard driving, cool bluffs, and a duel of wits with an opponent every bit as resourceful as his hunters. The second of Dornford Yates's Chandos adventures, this 1928 novel brings back the villain of Blind Corner and ties the Chandos books to the author's popular Berry stories. It moves quickly and keeps its grip to the last page.
