His other works include Crowner's Quest, The Island of Death, and The Cambridge Murders. From the flap: "Mammy Green, whose ostensible trade was that of a dealer in native produce in Edwardsville, Old Guinea, was in point of fact assumed to be at the bottom of most of the unpunished crimes in the Colony. It was even rumoured that the nefarious activities which had earned her the nickname of 'The Black Mamba' had been so profitable as to enable her to send two sons to Cambridge and a daughter to one of the most fashionable girls' schools in the South of England. In any case, Stanley Carruthers, on his first appointment to the Coast, wasted no time in falling into the trap which she cunningly laid for him, for 'The Black Mamba' was something of a specialist in dealing with young men.…
