Bricklayer's Arms is a 1945 detective novel by John Rhode, the pen name of the British writer Cecil Street.

[1] It is the forty first in his long-running series of novels featuring Lancelot Priestley, a Golden Age armchair detective.

[2] It was particularly notable for the lesser role played by Priestley, with the case being solved largely by Inspector Waghorn of Scotland Yard alone.

A local village deliveryman comes across the body of an estate agent near a railway bridge, apparently the victim of a motorcycle accident.

Subsequent investigation reveals he was killed and suspicion turns towards the dead man's boss.
