✦ Synopsis
Description Con Conway, the notorious cat burglar, was not the kind of person to be scared out of his wits for nothing. So it seemed odd to Sergeant Bobby Owen, when he met Con quite by chance rushing, terrified, along a road in the Brush Hill district just before midnight. Afterwards he investigated the house where it seemed Conway had been, yet there was nothing, not a shred of evidence to suggest that swag had been hidden there or taken from there. It was a strange place, Tudor Lodge; it had an eerie atmosphere and disturbing associations. Twice Sergeant Owen returned to look it over but all he encountered was a very pretty and very frightened girl. Finally he found in the house a murdered man - murdered years ago. Yet still he could not make out why Conway had been quite so frightened - until he went to work in earnest on the job.;Cover; Title Page/About The Book; Introduction by Curtis Evans; CHAPTER ONE Con Conway's Terror; CHAPTER TWO Tudor Lodge; CHAPTER THREE The Broken Window; CHAPTER FOUR The Girl; CHAPTER FIVE The Shopkeeper; CHAPTER SIX The Shopkeeper's Assistant; CHAPTER SEVEN Obsession; CHAPTER EIGHT The Young Man; CHAPTER NINE The Saratoga Trunk; CHAPTER TEN Miss Barton's Disappearance; CHAPTER ELEVEN The Search Begins; CHAPTER TWELVE Full Cry; CHAPTER THIRTEEN Glasgow History; CHAPTER FOURTEEN Newspaper Interlude; CHAPTER FIFTEEN Ghostly Pursuit; CHAPTER SIXTEEN Dorothy Yelton's Story.
