What an enigma Kate is! Whilst possessing all the finer womanly attributes, she is yet able to plot and schedule, to the very last detail, for the gang in Amberscombe Gardens (better known as "Crime Street") the most daring and wildly ambitious robberies imaginable, one of which goes as far as "stealing an entire and valuably-laden railway goods train," which just disappears into thin air. Yet, Kate is not so very dreadful! She just has something in her system, which eventually is found to be eradicable, as you will discover when you reach the end of this exciting book.
