Author : V. Carrington
Publisher : Arthur Barker

Type : Hardback
Pages : 192
Genre : Crime, Thriller, Mystery
Plot: Pinching in Provence, and burgulary in Bloomsbury, was not quite what the doctors had in mind when they sent Sir William home from the Pacific to live a quite life in England. If the 'Southern Prince' had been safely launched, things might have turned out differently, but it sank like a leaky bath-tub, and it was the young ex-Governor who was launched instead, on a new career involving rather different problems than those normally encountered in Government House.
Colonial Servants do not live a particularly sheltered life, but William would have been the first to admit that Millie, who soothed the savage double-breasteds at the Banana Grove, could broaden his outlook considerably, to say nothing of the lady in the winged sunglasses, whom he found reading tomorrow's newspaper. But it was the strange figure known as "The Guardian" who made, what might be termed, a really shattering impact, so that William suddenly found himself fighting for something that was more precious to him than even his own life.
