As the plot thickens, Jones must use all of his wits and psychic powers to solve the case and bring the thieves to justice. ''Average Jones'' is a thrilling and entertaining read that will keep you guessing until the very end.''There’s been no quarrel. We’re as much engaged now as ever, in spite of the return of the ring. It’s only her infern--her deep-rooted superstition that’s caused this trouble. One can’t blame her; her father and mother were both killed in an accident after some sort of ’ghostly warning.’ The first thing I gave her, after our engagement, was a necklace of these stones''--he tapped his scarf pin--''that I’d selected, one by one, myself. They’re beautiful, as you see, but they’re not particularly valuable; only semiprecious.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
