From Collins Crime Golf club archive, the first original novel to feature Ben the Cockney tramp, the unorthodox detective character created by J. Jefferson Farjeon, author of Secret in White. Odd things are going on in the untenanted homes of Jowle Neighborhood. You will discover unaccountable creakings and strange knockings on the door of no.29, in which a homeless ex-sailor has adopted house. But even stranger things are going on in the house opposite, from in which a beautiful woman within an evening gown brings Ben a inexplicable note and, worse, the offer of employment! Ben the 'moving tramp' was immortalised on film by Alfred Hitchcock in the film Quantity 17, predicated on a favorite '20s stage play and novelisation by journalist-turned-author Joe Jefferson Farjeon. The House Reverse (1931) was the first full-length original novel to feature Ben, a unwilling down-at-heels Cockney sleuth, who continued to feature in six more successful detective thrillers from 1931 to 1952.
