Roger Arlington of Arlington Manor and Marjory Beckett of Wykeburn Abbey want nothing more than to marry and live a quiet life - even if Roger's slender means entail genteel poverty for the pair. But Marjory's father Sir George is determined that his daughter should marry local businessman and self-made millionaire Austin Adler. Little does he know of Adler's shady past - a past that is of great interest to a pair of crooks recently arrived in the area and keen to try their hands at blackmail. The fabled Arlington treasure promises a way out for all parties. But the only clue to its location is a cryptic inscription on a sundial in the Manor grounds. The hunt is on, but tensions are running high - and not everyone will survive to enjoy the promised spoils...
The Rev. Ottwell Binns was an English clergyman, who also harboured an enthusiasm for the less holy delights of pulp fiction and cinematic B-movies - an enthusiasm which bore fruit in a number of thrillers, written under the pseudonym of Ben Bolt. Originally published in 1937, The Sundial Clue is an old-fashioned yarn, replete with gangsters, treasure hunts and damsels in distress!
