Mystery in the Channel by Freeman Wills Crofts
In Freeman Wills Crofts’ Mystery in the Channel, the master of a passenger ferry running from Newhaven, England, to Dieppe, France, observes a yacht drifting in the channel. Two men are found dead on board. Inspector French of Scotland Yard is called in to investigate and becomes involved in the world of high-powered banking and international intrigue. It is a satisfyingly boaty mystery and recommended for those who like their Golden Age detective fiction with a touch of the nautical.
This is #7 in the Inspector French series. Faded Page currently has five books in the series available (including #11, The 12:30 from Croydon).
