Overview: Miles Bredon (a surname suggested by a mention of Bredon Hill in the poem Shropshire Lad) may be a bit of a dry stick, but is not without a sense of humor.
He is employed as a private detective by the Indescribable Insurance Company, but is discreetly described by them as "our representative". He’s "a big, good-humored, slightly lethargic creature still in his early thirties." At school he’d been "not lazy, exactly, but he was the victim of hobbies which perpetually diverted his attention… He was a good cross-country runner; but in the middle of a run he would usually catch sight of some distraction which made him wander three miles out of his course and come in last."
During the war, he’d become an intelligence officer, and that led on to the job at the Indescribable.

1 The Three Taps (1927)
In a gas-lit inn in the countryside a man lies dead. The police, of course, investigate – and so do Miles Bredon and his wife, in the interests of the Indescribable Insurance Company, with which the deceased man, Mr Mottram, had been heavily insured.
The culprit is the three gas taps in Mr Mottram’s room, and Miles hopes to prove that his death is suicide. Miles’ old wartime colleague, Police Inspector Leyland, is convinced it’s murder. And the conclusion is as ingenious as it is surprising.
2 The Footsteps at the Lock (1928)
At first sight the case looks simple enough to private investigator Miles Bredon. Two cousins on a boat trip on the River Thames: Derek with a £50,000 reason for surviving the next two months until he inherits a legacy; Nigel with a £50,000 reason for getting rid of him and inheriting the money himself.
When Derek disappears, Nigel naturally falls under suspicion – not least because he has a train of alibis that is almost too perfect. But where is the body? And if this is not murder, whose is the photograph of a body slumped in a boat, and who left the wet footprints at the lock?
