'The Green Bungalow' is a mystery novel written by Fred M. White. The story unfolds during luncheon time at the Metropolitan Hotel, Brighton, where the great dining-room was comfortably filled with guests and casual visitors as Hilton Blythe strolled casually into the room with the intention of seeking one of his favorite window seats. He glanced casually round as if in search of some passing acquaintance before his keen eye picked out the little lady in lavender seated in an angle facing the King's Road with a companion. The most accomplished and daring card-sharper and swindler in Europe paused for a moment as if he had been struck by a bullet, but only for a fraction of a second, and then he was himself again.
