John Rhode

SYNOPSIS BRICKLAYER'S ARMS is a fine new detective story by that favourite Crime Club author, John Rhode. Old Charlie Dal-ston had been the village carrier at Winghurst for many years, like his father before him. One April afternoon as he approached the railway bridge that spanned the road a short distance from Winghurst he caught sight of a bundle lying by the roadside. Pulling up sharply he got down to investigate, and to his horror found the bundle was the dead body of a man. A few yards farther on a motor-cycle lay on its side. Not quite so simple as it looked, the accident develops into a most intricate and baffling mystery, in which, of course, both Inspector Jimmy Waghorn and Dr. Priestley participate.
