Leathermouth

Leathermouth by Carlton Dawe follows the work of Detective Colonel Ganton, or Leathermouth, as he tracks down the missing Sir Julius Ashlin and the sinister man responsible for his disappearance. Excerpt: «I HAPPENED to be dining in the club that night at peace with the world, or so I tried to think. That I was ever wholly at peace, or ever should be, I frequently doubted. Nature, having cast me in a temperamental mold, seemed to delight in experimenting with her creation. But all this was under the skin.»
