Accuse the Toff (2014)
“Rollison rolled closer to the house which was denuded of iron railings but with a small ridge of stone work where they had been embedded before the war time drive for scrap iron. He was thinking only of the man who had so neatly lifted the case and the possibility of being used as a target but, as he heard a bullet strike the wing of the small car without stopping it, he rose to his feet and backed into the porch of the house.
He took out his service revolver while, on the other side of the... road, a woman with a perambulator began to run, tight-lipped, in the opposite direction.
From an open window a man said clearly: ‘What the devil!’ Rollison saw Ibbetson tearing along on his short, stubby legs, Mike firing towards the car and the driver nearing the comer as if impervious to danger or at least ignoring it; the back of his head seemed a black mat of hair. He slowed down a little as he reached the comer and swung round on two wheels. He went so near the opposite comer that Mike leapt away and his next shot was spoiled.MoreLess
