About this item

When Brock and Kathy are summoned to Cabot's, a venerable dealer in stamps, they expect a simple case of theft. But the story they confront is far different. East-Ender Sammy Starling, aka Sammy China, an ex-crook from Brock's past, is in eep trouble and has asked for Brock's help: his pretty young wife has been kidnapped, and the strange thing is that the ransom notes are decorated with the rare and valuable Chalon Head stamp of the young Queen Victoria - to whom his wife bears a striking resemblance. But how can Kathy and Brock believe anything Sammy says?
