Doomed to hang from the gallows, Sir Julian Harnwood has only one hope of saving his life - Morrice Buckler, his best friend and devoted supporter. When Buckler heads out to Luckstein Castle in Austria to free the unfortunate Harnwood, great perils await him. And his opponent turns out to be none other than the beautiful but deadly Countess. Her viperous charms may prove too much for Buckler and a trap is set. Only one question remains: is the Countess or the heroic Buckler going to be caught?

The Author: Alfred Edward Wooley Mason was born in 1865. He was educated at Dulwich College before being sent up to Oxford University. Once his formal education was completed, Mason went on to become an actor. He began his writing career with historical fiction and then moved into the arena of politics, becoming a Liberal Member of Parliament for Coventry in 1906.

But his love of writing carried on and Mason developed his style to incorporate detective fiction, introducing one of the earliest fictional detectives, Inspector Hanaud, the Gallic counterpart to Sherlock Holmes. His detective fiction contains material clues and spontaneity. Throughout the course of his life he produced over thirty titles.

A E W Mason died in 1948.
