Hopjoy Was Here
Why don't you take a look into 14 Beatrice Avenue. This is the anonymous letter that Inspector Purbright received one day, which set him thinking of Brian Hopjoy who lived at the house in question. Soon two high powered agents Ross and Pumphrey descend upon him, for Hopjoy, alias F.7, was one of their men and they also had theories about his disappearance.
