Description of  Gimlet comes home (Gimlet #3)

This, the first post World War II story, starts with Cub, Copper and Trapper meeting for a reunion dinner with Gimlet at the Ritz Hotel in London. Bizarrely, Gimlet doesn't turn up! Investigating the mystery, our three heroes travel to Lorrington Hall in the village of Lorrington, Devon and find out from a very unhelpful butler and a helpful gardener that Gimlet has inherited an estate in Scotland and was last known to be there. Travelling to Scotland our heroes discover a suspicious pub called the Glencarglas Arms as one of the nearest premises to Gimlet's isolated estate. An old tin mine is on the track to Gimlet's estate and Cub, Copper and Trapper go to look round it. Here, to their utter astonishment, they find an unconscious Gimlet at the bottom of a remote shaft - he is only found by pure luck!...
