'Mr. Batchelor's book opens dramatically with three English batsmen out for eight runs in a Test match. Then comes the sudden collapse and death of England's star batsman as he walks to the wicket. The high standard of the first chapter Is retained throughout the book, and leads from a vaudeville show to a Chinese opium den, from police headquarters to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and to a thrilling and extraordinary ending.'
