Synopsis
Inspector French investigates a sophisticated counterfeit coin ring, following a trail from a nervous young typist's police report to a Guildford workshop where a gang is producing debased silver. The case takes a deadly turn when a shop girl who stumbled on the conspiracy is kidnapped, and leaves only a desperate paper-plane SOS hidden in a remote Surrey village. A classic Freeman Wills Crofts "howdunit" procedural, packed with meticulous detection and tense coastal chase sequences.
