Excerpt from Sam
On the string-piece of the wharf sat a man, smoking a pipe. He looked up at Miss Chalmers casually, yet speculatively, then arose and nodded amicably.

I really liked this book, my first EJ Rath. Several times it borders on too ridiculous. Some great dialogue and it moves quite quickly.
