A young man is handed a package by a strange woman in the London fog. Soon, he finds himself accused of killing the woman's father and being involved in a larger conspiracy. Of course he is innocent and the real criminals are an organised gang. Can detective Menzies sort things out and find out what is really going on?
This is a solid police procedural, it might be a little dated (being written during the First World War) and has a little bit too much of an international flavour with some American characters in old London town (some with rather ridiculous names). However, it's a solid enough read without being too memorable.
