TOMMY HAMBLEDON was a gift that the intelligence department lost no time in using. He was an espionage agent par excellence, with the additional qualifications of having been a practical police officer for many years. When one ship after another sank mysteriously not long out of Portsmouth harbor, Tommy was called on to find the source of the trouble. The case of the sinking ships turned into the case of the murdered MacGregor, and Mr. Hambledon of the Intelligence functioned as a police officer as well as a government agent.

Manning Coles, and Tommy Hambledon, his chief character, have established a reputation in espionage-mystery fiction. In other books (Drink to Yesterday, A Toast to Tomorrow, etc.) Tommy has operated abroad. Now, in They Tell No Tales, he is working in England, back on home grounds. This story has the same excellent qualities of closely-woven plot and good writing that distinguish Coles' work.

This special edition of THEY TELL No TALES by Manning Coles has been made available to the Armed Forces of the United States through an arrangement with the original publisher, Doubleday, Doran and Co., Inc., New York.
