A Jeeves novel Captain Biggar, big-game hunter and all round tough guy, should make short work of the two bookies who have absconded with his winnings after a freak double made him a fortune. But on this occasion Honest Patch Perkins and his clerk are not as they seem. In fact they're not bookies at all, but the impoverished Bill Belfry, Ninth Earl of Rowcester and his temporary butler, Jeeves.

The story is adapted from a play Come On, Jeeves that Wodehouse wrote with his friend Guy Bolton. Written in third person narrative and the only Jeeves & Wooster novel without *gasp* Bertie.
Ring for Jeeves is another fairly routine Wodehouse novel, though it is distinct in the Jeeves and Wooster series because Wooster is away for this story. Bertie, instead of avoiding aunts, is at a special school to prepare members of the upper class for a possible populist uprising. Unfortunately, ...
I've only read The Return of Jeeves, but this was the only listing on Goodreads for that title...Anyways, a bit less interesting and sparkling than Wodehouse's norm and not one of his that I would recommend.
