Only Detective Robert Budd can crack this case...or can he?
The queer business of the Silver Saints and the tragic series events at Monk's Ferry began in London when Lew Cator was deliberately struck by a speeding car and left for dead in the gutter.
When they picked him up he was unconscious, but on the way to the infirmary he recovered for a sufficient length of time to request that superintendent Robert Budd should be sent for, and there was so much urgency in his demand that the police telephoned to Scotland Yard at once.
Lew was on his deathbed, and only managed to gasp a cryptic message to Budd before he died:
"The Abbot's Key. The feller...in the car wanted it...wasn't no accident... "
"A million quid... the Twelve Apostles..."
Gerald Verner (1897-1980) was the pseudonym of British writer John Robert Stuart Pringle. Born in London, Verner wrote more than 120 novels that have been translated in over 35 languages, and many of his books have been adapted into films, radio serials and stage plays. Verner also wrote forty-four Sexton Blake tales.
Genre: Mystery
