Description

When the San Angelo drifts into port in the Pool of London, telephones begin to ring across the capital and an intricate series of events is set in motion. Beset by dreadful storms in the Bay of Biscay, the ship, along with the 'mixed cargo' it carries, is late.

First published in 1938, this early novel from one of the great Golden Age mystery writers skilfully delivers a compelling tale of murder set against a gritty portrayal of life alongside the Thames.
