Description

Ben's first adventure begins with a dead body in an abandoned house. A reluctant amateur sleuth, he is persuaded to investigate the mystery, only for it to disappear. Now, this gripping tale of thieves and narrow escapes has been immortalised on film by Alfred Hitchcock. Written over 90 years ago, J. Jefferson Farjeon's No.17 is a thrilling pacey read that follows Ben as he finds himself in the thick of trouble with no way out. With its origins as an internationally successful stage play, this crime thriller remains a worthwhile read for fans of the genre. Featuring Ben, the lovable and humorous ex-sailor, this book is a story of mystery and suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
