The Flying Squad
Published by Open Road Media
A conspiracy of smugglers try to frame a London police detective for murder in this classic mystery thriller.
Although his neighbors suspect he is quite rich, Li Yoseph lives in a sagging, squalid wooden house overhanging a creek, and has a habit of holding lengthy, animated conversations with invisible friends, usually in a foreign tongue. The police are certain he’s involved in smuggling, but they’ve never been quite able to prove it. Now there are darker doings afoot than a bit of tobacco smuggling—including murder—and an attempt to pin the blame for it on Scotland Yard’s Inspector Bradley. The detective will need to ascertain who really dumped a body in the Thames, and how much truth lies in an apparent madman’s ravings . . .
