A young man is handed a package by a strange woman in the London fog. Soon he finds himself accused of killing the woman's father and being involved in a larger conspiracy. The real criminals are an organised gang. Can detective Menzies sort out what is really going on?
This is a solid police procedural, it might be a little dated (being written during the First World War) and had a little bit of an international flavour with some American characters in old London town (some with rather ridiculous names). However, it's a solid enough read without being too memorable.
