What: He wakes up in a hospital not knowing who he is, and the first thing he hears is two people discussing his case: "They'll hang him, I suppose?"
So he runs.
Opening lines: "The muttering was indistinct. It crept down the dark ward, forcing itself upon the man who lay in the patch of light at the far end of the vast room."
Representative quote: "The one clear conclusion to be drawn from present developments, he decided, was that he and the girl were up to something --- or at least she certainly was."
How to get it: Buyable, borrowable, Kindle-able. Also available as an audiobook, but I can't vouch for that.
Connections to previous Wreckage: Other books by Margery Allingham include Black Plumes (Rec. #156), The Estate of the Beckoning Lady (FSoM #3), The Fashion in Shrouds (QfFC #17), and Sweet Danger (Rec. #133).
