Publisher Description
A secretive gentlemen’s dining society meets twice a year. On these occasions they invite a guest speaker, always somebody who has done something extraordinary, like flying to Australia and back, driving across China … or some incredible criminal feat such as robbing the Bank of England. On the search for the next speaker, the Club Secretary spots an account of a most extraordinary jailbreak in the East Indies and decides to try to track down the escapee. A course of events is set in motion which nobody could predict.

About A. J. Alan
A. J. Alan was the pseudonym of Leslie Harrison Lambert (1883–1941), an English magician, intelligence officer, short story writer, and radio broadcaster. He was hugely popular in the ’20s and ’30s for his radio broadcasts, when he performed his own humorous and often macabre short stories, which he always delivered wearing full evening dress.
