To Sarah Hollis and her flat-mates a ramsackle villa in the French Pyrenees seemed to offer the perfect holiday...On the way she had met by chance a man called Arthur Crook, thoguh she could scarcely believe his assertion, made with hearty and cosy vulgarity, that he was by profession a lawyer. A time would come when Sarah would have need of Crook's services...Set in the deep countryside of France, this ecciting story tells of Sarah's dangerous predicament, revelars a complex and wicked plot, and shows Arthur Crook in roaring action to foil the villains.
