Connington: Truth Comes Limping
“'God send you back to Me' was scribbled across the bank note in the dead man’s pocket. Who wrote it? How did seventeen pounds find its way into the pocket of a disappointed literary hack and why was it still there after he met a violent death? What had brought him all the way from London to Abbots Norton-on-the-Green? Why was the suspected murderer himself assassinated in his turn? With this yarn J. J. Connington has scored a bulls-eye as the big target and that target is another clue. If the reader reaches the solution before Sir Clinton Driffield does, he belongs at the head of the class for Mr. Connington has few peers in the writing of real detective stories." (Burlington, VT, Daily News , 1938)
