by Kevin McGarry

This three-part adventure tells of the efforts of two reporters to catch up with a story - the American, Dan Page, and his companion from a rival news agency, Ted Fothergill. They are joined in their hunt across the Atlantic by airline hostess Pat Walters.
The man who spells news to them is the 'Joker' - a confidence man with all the nerve in the world. An expert at disguises, he turns the reporters' dogged chase into a romp, spiced with as many chuckles as thrills.
