The body of the conductor is found shot through the head near the pleasant little town of Sospel among the high mountains and dangerous roads behind Nice. When he learns that his conductor has been murdered and that he is suspected, Bennion, the driver, fearful of the methods of the French police, which he has read about in thrillers, gives himself up personally to Littlejohn, explaining that he is running away from his wife. The confusion caused by keeping the touring party under control, making hazardous journeys among the hairpin bends of the Alpes Maritimes, chasing a gang which is obviously in mischief, and acting as interpreter for those tourists who do not know French, keeps Littlejohn busy for quite a while before he and his friend Dorange of the Nice Surete sort out the whole affair.

George Bellairs - The Characters Inspector Littlejohn Famous as Inspector Littlejohn, this Scotland Yard sleuth received a promotion to Superintendent late in his career. Littlejohn is very con- scious of his age and fears he is being "kicked upstairs." He also fears that he is patronized by the younger men with whom he works, and that they consider his methods dated. He has, however, lost none of his ability to sift through clues to arrive at a correct solution.
