Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pit-Prop Syndicate is a story from the beginning of the golden age of crime fiction. Seymour Merriman, a British wine merchant on business in France, happens upon a syndicate manufacturing pit-props—beams used to prop up mine tunnels—but his eye is caught by one odd detail: their lorry’s numberplate mysteriously changes. With the help of his friend Hilliard from the Excise department they dig deeper and uncover a dangerous conspiracy. Freeman Wills Crofts was a civil engineer, turned author of crime fiction.

Download or read book The Pit Prop Syndicate written by Freeman Wills Crofts and published by Collins. This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Collins Crime Club archive, the third standalone novel by Freeman Wills Crofts, dubbed 'The King of Detective Story Writers'. Seymour Merriman's holiday in France comes to an abrupt halt when his motorcycle starts leaking petrol. Following a lorry to find fuel, he discovers that it belongs to an English company making timber pit-props for coal mines back home. His suspicions of illegal activity are aroused when he sees the exact same lorry with a different number plate - and confirmed later with the shocking discovery of a body. What began as amateur detective work ends up as a job for Inspector Willis of Scotland Yard, a job requiring tenacity, ingenuity and guile . . . Freeman Wills Crofts' transition from civil engineer on the Irish railways to world-renowned master of the detective mystery began with The Cask when he was fully 40 years old; but it was his third novel, the baffling The Pit-Prop Syndicate, that was singled out by his editors in 1930 as the first for inclusion in Collins' prestigious new series of reprints 'for crime connoisseurs'. This Detective Club classic is introduced by John Curran, author of The Hooded Gunman, and includes the bonus of an exclusive short story by Crofts, 'Danger in Shroude Valley'.

Download or read book The Pit Stop Syndicate written by F. Wills Crofts and published by . This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The vehicle which he had heard in the distance was now close by, he turned idly to watch it pass. He did not know then that this slight action, performed almost involuntarily, was to change his whole life, and not only his, but the lives of a number of other people of whose existence he was not then aware, was to lead to sorrow as well as happiness, to crime as well as the vindication of the law..." When Seymour Merriman stopped for a rest he noticed that his motorcycle was leaking petrol. He decided to follow the large lorry, with "The Landes Pit-Prop Syndicate, No. 4" marked on its side, which had just lumbered by, and ask the driver to let him have enough fuel to cover the remaining 26 miles to Bordeaux. It wasn't clear what this English Company was doing in France, but murder soon made it the business of Inspector Willis to find out. The Inspector needed all the patience, tenacity, and guile he could muster to untangle this brilliantly complicated and baffling plot. Another brilliant ingenious detective story by the author of The Ponson Case. The mystery of the real business of the syndicate utterly baffled the clever young "amateurs" who tried to solve it, and it took all the experience and perseverance of the "professionals" to break up the dangerous and murderous gang.
