Description de l’éditeur
This novel followed ‘Close Quarters’ and once again features Inspector Hazlerigg. It is a gangster suspense thriller about the post-war black market. There is robbery, murder, and smuggling in a volume that contains all of the ingredients of a first class tale, with Gilbert’s particular trademarks of dry humour and wit, and an obvious knowledge of the subject written about with fascinating and revealing detail and description.
Avis des utilisateurs
A reliable read
Like so many books written at this time (first published in 1948), prepare to cringe at some of the language and descriptions when words we now know as national, ethnic and racial slurs seemed to be commonplace and accepted. Apart from that, it is an engaging police procedural / adventure that's typical of Michael Gilbert's style.
