There are unaccountable creakings and weird knockings on the door of No.29, where the homeless ex-sailor Ben has taken up residence. But even stranger things are happening in the House Opposite, from where a beautiful woman in an evening gown brings Ben a mysterious message – and an errand that puts him in more danger than he bargained for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce Ben the ‘passing tramp’ had been immortalised on film by Alfred Hitchcock in No.17, his return in a new novel was guaranteed.
