Excerpt from The Secret Partner Klaggetss King, like Pilate's wife, was troubled by a dream. That was the only point of resemblance between him and the noble Roman lady, who was concerned about a certain just man; whereas Klaggett King concerned himself, neither sleeping nor waking, about just men. He let just men look after themselves, and he did exclusively the same. Klaggett King's dream was a recurrent dream. Like the fabled flying Dutchman, or the phantom headless horseman, at certain periods in his life, it appeared athwart the horizon of his slumbering consciousness, and each time it marked a milestone in his career, and was the invariable precursor of a business success. Always the dream was the same in substance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.
