Dark Mystery

The contents of a locker lead an amateur sleuth into danger in this classic British mystery by the author of the Department Z series. He may be a fruit farmer from Surrey, but Patrick Dawlish also knows a thing or two about fighting crime. Although he frequently collaborates with the police, he has been known to assist civilians on occasion . . . Wayward millionairess Judy Bell is all alone in the world. She has seen something frightening and desperately needs Dawlish's help . . . but then she goes missing. Determined to find the vulnerable young woman alive, Dawlish deduces there is only one way to do so--get abducted. The plan may seem reckless, but then again, so is Dawlish.
