In The Third Round, the third of Sapper’s Bulldog Drummond stories, Hugh Drummond has lost none of his trademark wit, charm, and confidence. In investigating the mysterious death of Professor Goodman, who holds the key to a formula for creating diamonds, he uncovers a menacing plot involving the Metropolitan Diamond Syndicate and, inevitably, his seemingly indestructible enemy, the sinister Carl Peterson.

Unexpected twists and turns are rife, and the climax sees a thrilling boat chase that makes for fantastic listening. Roy McMillan’s narration is sparkling and witty, the perfect match for Sapper.
