    SHAUN ALOYSIUS O'MARA came round the shadow of the low wall that bounded the end of the little church. He stepped unsteadily over the wall; began to walk through the small graveyard towards the yew-tree grove.It was hot. The sun beat down pitilessly; there was no air.

    by Peter Cheyney ...

A suggestion of efficiency was provided by a steel filing-cabinet.Outside, between this office and the corridor, was another even smaller room. In it MacMurray, a big, broad-shouldered, truculent-looking man, dozed over an evening paper. He wished Fenton would go ... Read more

    A FILM director, seeking a ghostly scene for some macabre film, would have acclaimed the location of the Box of Compasses.It stood, set back fifty yards from the deserted cross-roads, one arm of which dwindled away past the wooded crest of the hill; turned itself into a footpath and disappeared amongst the scrub on the cliff top. One arm ran into the moorland; the other wound past the inn and ... Read more

  • Sinister Errand

    by Peter Cheyney ...
    KALEIDOSCOPIC pictures of last night's party presented themselves between myself and the ceiling. One or two faces— one of them was certainly Sammy's face, the other that of an attractive woman— flashed across my memory. I felt a little sick and did not want particularly to think about them. In fact I did not want to think about anything.You wouldn't get any funny ideas about me, would you? You ... Read more
