THE GAUNT STRANGER
Henry Arthur Milton is the gaunt stranger, better known throughout the haunts of London as The Ringer ... and a master of disguise. His former partner in crime is the arrogant lawyer Lewis Meister. Meister set him up, sent him to prison; then he escaped to Australia. But The Ringer has returned and now he's back with only one thing on his mind-revenge!
While the Ringer keeps his eye on Meiser, Inspector Wemberly is watching out for Meister's secretary, Mary. He doesn't trust Meister's intentions-nor his unsavory reputation. Did Meister send up The Ringer? All Wemberly knows is that he trusts the motivations of The Ringer more than he does Meister, particularly as regards Mary.
