As his paranoia increases, he becomes caught in his own trap, every action he takes to avert the danger seeming to diminish his options more and more. Meantime, Pinkie Brown, leader of the gang, is worried that one of his men may have done something that will give them all away just when it seems they have got off with murder. Later she hears that he has died, and doesn’t accept the report that his death was natural. But she leaves him for a few minutes to visit the public toilets and when she returns he’s gone. Ida Arnold is a kind-hearted good-time girl, who takes pity on this lonely stranger. He feels he’ll be safer if he’s not alone, so tries to pick up one of the female day-trippers down from London to enjoy the beach and the bars and the sunshine. He knows that a Brighton gang he has written about is after him, intent on killing him. But on this day, Kolley Kibber – real name Charles “Fred” Hale – is scared. He will walk the streets and any lucky reader who spots and challenges him will be given a cash prize. Kolley Kibber has come to Brighton on a publicity campaign for his newspaper.
