I'm still working on the Austin Philips Post Office short stories project that I started last year. Today, I have another crime story from Philips' 1910 collection Red Tape.
In "The Watching Gallery," an ambitious young post office employee spends Christmas Eve looking for a serial postal thief.
This story is another interesting behind-the-scenes tale, which makes good use of Philips' background investigating crimes for the UK Post Office. I hope you enjoy it.
