A new Murder League mystery involving those three reprobate ex-detective writers — Carruthers, Simpson, and Briggs. This time around the redoubtable rogues fall prey to two totally unsuspecting kidnapers — Messrs. Clarence Alexander and Harold Nishbagel of Cicero, Illinois. Needless to say the tables are quickly turned, and the kidnapers soon find themselves at the mercy of their captives especially when the trio enlists the aid of England’s leading criminal lawyer, Sir Percival Pugh, a man who knows just how to implement the chicaneries of Carruthers, Simpson and Briggs... and mete out his own brand of justice at the same time. A high-spirited, lighthearted caper that showcases the peculiarly charming talents of three elderly Englishmen who continue to dedicate their lives to making crime pay
