The Silver Horseshoe

By Gerald Verner

On such small beginnings do large issues depend, that if a certain horse had not won the Lincolnshire Handicap that year it is doubtful if the Silver Horseshoe would ever have come into existence.

In which case a number of people now dead would almost certainly be still alive; Lord Sevenways would never have had cause to doubt the fidelity of his young wife; and reporter Peter Ashton would not have called a resentful Scotland Yard official of high rank a fool to his face.

But Superintendent Budd was assuredly not a fool, and when the Silver Horseshoe’s activities threaten the populace at large, it is Budd’s astuteness and cunning that unmasks the criminal mastermind.

Gerald Verner (1897-1980) was the pseudonym of British writer John Robert Stuart Pringle. Born in London, Verner wrote more than 120 novels that have been translated in over 35 languages, and many of his books have been adapted into films, radio serials and stage plays. Verner also wrote forty-four Sexton Blake tales.
