Summary

Everyone liked Sergeant Joe. From the huge jolly Beavis family with whom he had lodgings in Newington Butts, to Mr George Singleton, Charing Cross Road bookseller, who employed Joe in a little lucrative and harmless forgery, Sergeant Joe was a universal favourite. Quite a few people wondered why he didn't get married. But it wasn't until he bumped into Dolly Smith, quite literally in a London pea-souper, that he met a girl who made an impression on him. Dolly was quick, lively and full of cockney cheek. She was also a little frightened, running from a vicious-looking thug and a sinister foreigner who seemed to think she had stolen something valuable. When Joe took Dolly under his wing, he thought he was just helping her in a momentary predicament. He didn't realise his peaceful existence was going to be wrecked. For Dolly was both bewitching and beguiling, and she was also involved in something quite dangerous that was finally to give Sergeant Joe the surprise of his life
