Books by Andrew S Cowan

When Laura Gifford goes up to London to look for a private detective, she unwittingly sets off a train of events which throws everything and everybody into confusion, as the man she thinks she has hired to prevent a crime from taking place does his best to arrange matters along entirely different lines.

When Claude Nodmore arrives in London, having lost his job as a safari guide in East Africa, he meets a number of old friends in the Flotsam Club and is content to observe their behaviour and comment upon their activities. The trouble begins when he starts to act on his own initiative.

When the masters at Linton House preparatory school find themselves in difficulties, Mr. Melluish is not necessarily the first person they would think of to extricate them but all too often they find that he is on hand to show them where they have been going wrong and to illustrate his points with stories about his apparently endless stock of relations, who have, by exercising resource and tact, pulled themselves out of the soup.
