## Description

Ben encounters a dead man on a London bridge and is almost shot dead himself but is saved by a posh lady in a limousine. But all is not what it seems. Seeking escape from a gang of international conspirators, Ben is whisked off to the Scottish highlands and mountains to foil the plans of the organisation. With its startling opener, Detective Ben is a glorious adventure, told with the signature mix of humour and “creepy thrills” that made J. Jefferson Farjeon his reputation and Ben the tramp one of the best-loved characters of Golden Age crime fiction.
