Superintendent Budd is called in by the local police of Long Millford to investigate the strange murder of John Brockwell, impaled to the trunk of a tree with a pitchfork. Pinned to the lapel of the dead man's jacket is a playing card: the ten of diamonds. What is the meaning of this sign left on the body?
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.
