hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Whilst on holiday in Polcarron, Biggles sees four men get out of a Daimler car and go shark fishing. When the boat returns it contains four different men. Biggles later recalls that one of the men was wanted criminal 'Limpy' Logan. Returning to investigate with Algy, Bertie and Ginger, the Daimler driver is spotted. However, he is suspicious of Biggles and Bertie and makes enquiries about them at their hotel, 'The Fishermen's Arms'. The next thing to happen is that Biggles receives a parcel bomb at the hotel. Hearing the ticking, Biggles manages to throw it out of the door just before it explodes and this is the picture on the dust cover of the book. The Daimler car is registered to a Julius Brunner of Penlock Grange. His brother, Stephen runs 'The Fishermen's Arms'. Ginger is dropped off to keep watch on Penlock Grange and accidentally meets the owner, Julius Brunner. Brunner invites Ginger in to shelter from the rain, and then drugs his tea. Meanwhile, Tom Draper, the barman at 'The Fishermen's Arms' has been sacked and he confides in Bertie about the strange goings-on at the hotel. There are shifty looking people coming and going in twos and threes and they never have any luggage when they arrive. Later Tom is killed when he falls off a cliff and the suspicion is that he has been murdered. Biggles goes looking for Ginger at Penlock Grange and overhears an incriminating conversation between Stephen and Julius Brunner. Ginger is released after being told that he had been taken ill. Bertie and Algy follow the Daimler to Portwin Cove and see two men being taken to a boat. Biggles and Bertie have trouble at their hotel as Stephen Brunner wants them out but Biggles refuses to leave. Algy uses an aeroplane to follow the boat from Portwin Cove and it takes its passengers to a small rocky island just off the Channel Islands. Air Commodore Raymond and the Assistant Chief Constable of the county arrive to assist and a coastguard boat captained by Frank Cole is put at Biggles' disposal. (Biggles dot com).
