Featured review
The Mail Van Murder
Robert Fenton walks free after serving three years for an armed robbery.
There is no welcome committee waiting for him. Earlier in the morning a mail van was robbed and a postman was left for dead.
Fenton's gang boss John Tanner is suspected of that robbery. Fenton angry that he has been cut out of his share by Tanner, is seen having an altercation with Tanner when the police arrive.
The next day Tanner is found dead and Fenton is lying low.
Scotland Yard get news of John Strange, another member of the Tanner gang was recently released from prison in Tangier.
The police think that he might have smuggled himself into Britain and killed Tanner as he might have also been cheated by him.
There is a lot of story packed in here. Lustgarten narrates that this is a story where the big boss is under threat.
However some of the action scenes were a bit silly. Two grown men rolling around in the ground.
Look out for actor Jack Howarth as a cleaner. He was better known as Albert Tatlock in Coronation Street.
