The Mysterious Lord Marlowe (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
‘I thought there might be a ransom note, but I have heard nothing as yet.’ ‘My Runner thinks he may have found her. He has men watching the back and the front of an inn south of the Thames, and someone on the inside. It is a place known to the Runners, the haunt of thieves and low life. Someone said a lady was taken there last night. Gentleman Starky was heard to argue with the landlord before she was hurried upstairs—and Price’s informant says food was taken up to her later by Stark himself.’ ‘Who is Stark—or Starky?’ Andrew said. ‘You’ve lost me, Marlowe.’ ‘Stark was apparently a gentleman’s gentleman, hence the nickname. Price’s informant says that he has been working for a rum cove recently. From the description, I would say he is Blake’s man.’ ‘Then we have the rogues,’ Andrew said, a look of grim satisfaction in his eyes. ‘We must get Jane out of there—and bring Blake to account for his crimes. It is time he was safely in prison.’ ‘The sooner the better as far as I am concerned,’ George agreed.
