| Skytip Peter Ackland is ordered to rest by his Doctor. He travels to Cornwall and is greeted by Henry Braddock at the door of a cottage below the 'skytip'. Braddock has a revolver in his pocket. Ackland also comes across Nathan Murrison and his valet, who divide their time between exploring the 'skytip' and propping up the bar of the Green Dragon; a charming young lady who, on behalf of a Member of Parliament, tries her hand at burglary; other less charming characters who try their hand at blackmail; and a stage that is all set for murder. |
| Charter to Danger Vincent Flavius, a millionaire industralist, charters a cabin cruiser owned by Ross Barnes. Rumours abound, and most appear to suggest Flavius is on the verge of engineering yet another of his sensational financial coups. Embarkation is set for Cannes, but that is where the trouble begins. Shock after shock follows a strange encounter Barnes has with a girl in a dingy cafe. Murder and kidnapping follow, along with a dangerous chase which brings the Sûreté Nationale into swift action. |
