The night theykilled Joss Varran
> Joss Varran's body was found in a ditch opposite his home in the silent marshes of the Isle of Man, on the night of his release from Wormwood Scrubs. Events had made him a hunted man by his former partners in crime and his murder presented a picturesque case for Inspector Knell of the Manx police and his friend Chief Superintendent Littlejohn of Scotland Yard.
