"Hunted Down is the story of a mysterious man named Julius Slinkton who enters the life of Mr. Sampson, the manager of a life assurance office. Slinkton, a remarkably well-spoken chap with insinuating refined manners, initially seems to be the consummate gentleman. However, as Slinkton crops up more and more frequently in Sampson's life, the astute Sampson realises that looks are often deceiving and learns that a monstrous crime is about to be committed."
