Norman Conquest - killer! The fact that the deceased is a double-dyed skunk does not make Conquest's position any the less precarious. The Gay Desperado has been in many a tight corner, but never one quite so tight as this. It takes all the efforts of his pretty young wife, Pixie, aided by Superintendent Williams to hoist him out of the soup. A miniature earthquake in Mayfair involving the sticky end of Double-Dyed Skunk No 2 and lots of high pressure action lead to the breathless sort of climax for which Mr Gray is justly popular
