Описание книги

The Green Overcoat follows a story of Professor Higginson, a tall, thin, exceedingly shy and nervous psychologist on his journey when he comes across the magnificent green overcoat. Its cloth is soft and thick, pliable and smooth; the rich fur at the collar and cuffs was a promise of luxury lining… Now the Devil during all Professor Higginson's life had had trifling fun with him until that memorable moment.

At the word "pay" Professor Higginson's inexperience of the world convinced him that he was in the hands of criminals.
