Contents

  • Miss Maud Culver staffed her pigeonry with boys who had been in trouble and were now supposed to be going straight - thus combining good works and cheap labour. Though the neighbours looked disapprovingly at the boys and the young Marlows called them the Thuggery, there was nothing definite against them until Patrick Merrick and Peter Marlow found on the downs a dead pigeon which was carrying powder in a sealed capsule. Then the reaction of The Thuggery left them in no doubt that they had stumbled on a case of drug smuggling.
