The first novel in the Crime Haters series featuring Patrick Dawlish. “Crime grew fast in Great Britain and on the Continent, and in this age of high speed travel criminals could escape from one country to the safety of another. Crime was so bad that special police plans had to be made, and Patrick Dawlish was appointed to the post of Deputy Assistant Commissioner at Scotland Yard to become GB’s representative in the International Brigade against crime. When Dawlish attended his first meeting at The Hague he thought that the men from the other countries were old and ineffectual – until he found they had a common bond: a deep hatred of organized crime.” IN STOCK FOR IMMEIDATE DESPATCH
