The Hardway Diamonds
Mystery
By
Miles Burton
Who was the "Funny Toff," the terror alike of criminals and Scotland Yard? That he was amazingly resourceful and that his crimes were planned with fiendish ingenuity was common knowledge. That he had a devilish, perverted sense of humor was evidenced by the maniacal laughter that his victims recalled-but few heard it twice, for death had been meted out to all those who had tried to solve the riddle of his identity.
On a night of London fog Pussy Herridge, expert cracksman, stole the famous Hardway Diamonds -and yet when he was discovered by the police, they were not in his possession. The grim trail that Dick Penhampton followed led to the discovery of one of them on a dead man in the marshes-and yet Penhampton continued to live. Why was he spared so often in the ghastly game of cat-and-mouse played in the dark?
Seemingly Inspector Pollard was entirely deluded when he turned his attention to trailing the trailer. Lovely Alison Weatherleigh appeared to be a pawn in the intricate path to the "Funny Toff's" capture.
Miles Burton, whose own identity is concealed behind his pen name, has fashioned in this story a narrative whose quick pace piles thrill upon thrill. His plot, logical and yet filled with unexpected climaxes, will provide the reader with a full evening of real enjoyment until finally the true criminal is revealed.
