Jefferson Farjeon, author of Mystery in White.Strange things are happening in the untenanted houses of Jowle Street. There are unaccountable creakings and weird knockings on the door of No.29, where a homeless ex-sailor has taken up residence. But even stranger things are happening in the House Opposite, from where a beautiful woman in an evening gown brings Ben a mysterious message; and worsethe offer of a job!Ben the passing tramp'' was immortalised on film by Alfred Hitchcock in the film Number 17, based on a popular 'twenties stage play and novelisation by journalist-turned-author Joe Jefferson Farjeon.
