Seymour Merriman would not have even imagined that a little bit of help from strangers would catapult him into the world of crime syndicate, spanning two continents. He had only followed Lorry Number 3 in the hopes of getting some petrol for his bike. But that ended up with him noticing that the number plates had been changed! Why were the number plates changed? Who were these people whom Seymour had inadvertently met?

Autorenporträt
Freeman Wills Crofts (1879-1957), the son of an army doctor who died before he was born, was raised in Northern Ireland and became a civil engineer on the Irish railways. His first book, The Cask, was published in the summer of 1920, immediately establishing him as a new master of detective fiction. Dubbed 'The King of Detective Story Writers', he was continually praised for his flawless plotting, with Raymond Chandler describing him as 'the soundest builder of them all'. Crofts was a founder member of the Detection Club and elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in 1939.
