Jasper Shrig adventure No. V. 'Tis doubtful whether the terrible method adopted by Jael, wife of Heber the Caanite to rid the world of Sisera has ever been copied by any novelist, but the author has utilised this macabre Biblical incident in his plot. Three-quarters of century elapse between the criminal and the discovery - a rusty nail and a skull found in a Holborn churchyard connect with a very ancient and autocratic dame in the wilds of Cornwall and justice will be done - or at least, murder will out. This is a story packed full of adventures by land and sea, hairbreadth escapes, brawls with smugglers and ship-wreckers,m mystic caverns, weird isolated houses, Bow Street runners - and plenty of comedy and tragedy.
