Once Upon a Crime

Once Upon a Crime

Insurance investigator Brian Brett became involved in one of the most exciting cases of his career when he was sent to Jahannesburg, South Africa, to investigate a fabulous million-dollar jewel robbery. The jewels, which belonged to the wealthy Mrs. Claassen, had been stolen while she was away from home at a charity function. Brian's insurance company was liable—and it was his job to go to South Africa and solve the case.

When he arrived in Johannesburg the assignment seemed surprisingly easy. Brian's offer of a reward quickly brought a call from a man who claimed to be one of the jewel thieves, anxious to co-operate for a price. He not only named the others but arranged for the police to recover the stolen jewels. Very easy—except that $90,000 worth of the jewels remained missing and the "air tight" case against the three men suddenly collapsed in court.

Soon a beautiful night club dancer was taking Brian's mind off the case after hours and Mrs. Claassen's provocative social secretary made on-the-case investigation more interesting. But Brian began to suspect that trusting either one might be a fatal mistake.

As narrator of Once Upon A Crime Brian Brett is at top form. His latest case has all the color, action and romance of his two earlier adventures, Abra-Cadaver and The Burned Man. It has, too, the added excitement of courtroom drama and an ingenious, tightly woven plot that will present a real challenge to every armchair sleuth.
