Reader's note

This charming little pocket-sized book is a well-loved classic by Josephine Bell. Wapping. Tugs and barges on the river. A west-end shop that deals apparently in nothing but lingerie. Women who sell their souls for something in a little screw of paper. A doctor in the slums who has mysterious visitors. In a mean street of dockland a woman is dead, with every sign of suicide. A derelict barge casts part of a cargo ashore, boxes which have double ends: some of these box-ends are empty, others conceal pink chiffon nightdresses. The river police are concerned with the smuggling, Detective-Sergeant Chandler with an apparent suicide which he believes to be murder. River and shore police confer. Sergeant Chandler visits his suspects once more. He is never seen again This is a lovely classic story that would make a wonderful addition to any home collection.
