The Funk Hole

A young secretary falls to her death from the high-rise London headquarters of a food manufacturing company, and a young member of the home-guard is shot dead during exercises. The unreported burglary of the country house belonging to Sir Reginald Walker, the company's owner, piques Foyle's curiosity. The situation is muddied by the involvement of a barrister friend of Foyle's, Stephen Beck (a native of Germany secretly working for British intelligence), and an old colleague, Jack Devlin. With evidence collected by local children as salvage, Foyle confronts Walker and his son, uncovering trading with the enemy and the Walker's links to Nazism.
