Roag's syndicate

the long version

Gentle, bland, scheming Mr Hammersley thought he was on to a good thing, until Simon Good emerged from the yellow fog to remind him of an alcoholic confidence made in the dim and distant past ... Roag's Syndicate are not drenched in the blood of terribly mutilated victims, nor are they filled with juvenile delinquents. Reference is made, however, to nice, comfortable adult delinquents. From an Anglo-American insurance company in Fetter Lane, the action moves from Temple Station via New Scotland Yard, down to St Ives, along the colourful waterways of Amsterdam, right into the dock ... at the Central Criminal Court.
