The Unbreakable Alibi Tommy and Tuppence's latest client is a personable, rich, but slightly dense young man called Mr Montgomery Jones. He has met an Australian woman called Una Drake with whom he has fallen violently in love. Talking of their mutual love of detective stories, she has made a bet with him that he cannot break an alibi she has set up for herself.

Sleeping on the problem, the next morning Tuppence awakes to a flash on inspiration and sends off a cable to test her idea. Later that day she returns to their office with the solution – Una has
