About this book
Released from Dartmoor after a stretch he did not deserve, young Johnny Gray steps back into a London where an old enemy is quietly flooding the country with forged banknotes. Standing against the forgers is Mr. J. G. Reeder, the mild, umbrella-carrying investigator for the Public Prosecutor who made his first appearance here in 1924. Behind his shy manner sits one of the sharpest minds in crime fiction, and he needs all of it to trace the counterfeiting ring back to the men who run it. Wallace loads the plot with prison grudges, hidden presses, and a woman caught between both sides. It remains one of the sturdiest entries in his long run of Reeder stories. Free to read as a PDF and EPUB edition.
