Detective Ben

Ben the tramp, the awkward Cockney with no home and no surname, turns detective again – and runs straight into trouble.

Ben
encounters a dead man on a London bridge and is promptly rescued from
the same fate by a posh lady in a limousine. But like most posh ladies
of Ben’s acquaintance, this one isn’t what she seems. Seeking escape
from a gang of international conspirators, Ben is whisked off to the
mountains of Scotland to thwart the schemes of a poisonous organisation
and finds himself in very unfamiliar territory.

With its startling
prelude, Detective Ben is a glorious adventure, told with the
unsurpassed mixture of humour and creepy thrills that made J. Jefferson
Farjeon famous and Ben the tramp one of the best-loved characters of the
Golden Age.
