The book i have says published 1929.
I'm 2/3rd through and really enjoying the book's unique mystery.
Age hasn't hurt the mystery of who this man is-- Donald MacDonald, or is he bruno fitzpatrick or wallace prettywell. Perhaps the mystery is will another girlfriend or fiance or wife show up, again, and claim he is someone else. His friend gave him diamonds to courier from paris to london, but he missed friday drop off and has to wait until monday. Us that the diamonds bad luck curse. However, someone is after the diamonds. Until then, he keeps finding people who know him as different names. And who is after the diamonds. How does he have so much amnesia.
I want to read more of this author's books now. The pacing is good, and well done characters despite being a bit unbelievable at situations at times. I really appreciate that he goes to a small town in scottish country side and happens to be friends with the one man with a car, not to mention the many train trips -- i'm really learning about transit of the past.
