R. Cromwell.

Moritz the miraculous Boxer (a dog) makes his debut with the familiar cast of Homer Evans, detective, dead-eye Miriam, Inspector Fremont and his dusky Hydrangea, Hjalmar Jansen the crockery smasher, the Singe, Godo the Whack, et al., roister-doistering from Paris to Rouen and back by water, land and haystack. Funniest murder story yet from veteran Mr. Paul, whose higher-browed books include The Life & Death of a Spanish Town...
