The Seven Clues
By Gerald Verner
The impossible puzzle…
Norris Jordan uncovers a fiendish plot and is about to give evidence to the British Government – but on his return to England he is murdered.
Having anticipated this, however, he has concealed his evidence within an elaborate series of riddles, each leading to a scrap of vital information; the first going to his friend, Peter Clayton.
Aided by the head of the Secret Service, Clayton struggles to solve the riddles – but the duo soon find that their very lives are at stake as the plotters try to silence them…
