No Thoroughfare : Large Print

Two boys from the Foundling Hospital are given the same name, (Walter Wilding), with disastrous consequences in adulthood.

After the death of one - now a proprietor of a wine merchant's company - the executors, to right the wrong, are commissioned to find a missing heir.

Their quest takes them from wine cellars in the City of London to the sunshine of the Mediterranean - across the Alps in winter.

Danger and treachery would prevail were it not for the courage of the heroine, Marguerite, and a faithful company servant.
