    About this ebook

    H. C. Bailey was an extremely popular author of detective fiction. His most famous creation, Reggie Fortune - the protagonist of 'The Bottle Party', first published in 1940 - featured in no less than twelve collections of short stories between 1920 and 1940. Many crime and detective stories, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

      When Raúl gave me his security job for August, he told me not to see anything. You don’t see nothin’, he said, because we both know I get curious. Sometimes the other guys think I’m soft, the way I get lost in my head. My girlfriend says it’s trauma,
