About This Book

A rakish adventurer settles in an isolated coastal pillbox with his loyal retainer, only to have village routine shattered when a near-miss shooting exposes a deeper criminal plot. The narrative follows his energetic daily rituals, sharp observations, and playful banter as he pieces together clues, conducts undercover surveillance, and engages in daring physical feats. Scenes alternate between suspenseful confrontations, investigative cunning, and lighter social moments, with a persistent mysterious antagonist whose identity and motives drive a sequence of escalating encounters that lead to a decisive resolution.

Transcriber’s Note

This book was first published by Ward, Lock & Co. in 1928. This transcription follows the text of a 1952 reprint by the same publisher. However, where said text contained misspellings, grammatical mistakes, or unambiguously erroneous phrasing (e.g. “in the coarse of his duty”), the 1980 reprint by Charter Books was consulted, and the corrected text was substituted. Any other seeming inconsistencies have been preserved. (In particular, the inconsistent use of spelling and apostrophizing in Orace’s dialogue have been left unaltered.)
