In the fog-choked sprawl of 1930s London, John Creasey’s Death Around the Corner (1935) unleashes Department Z’s Roger West on a sinister conspiracy coiled in the capital’s underbelly. A string of seemingly random slayings—each victim a cog in Britain’s industrial machine—hints at sabotage orchestrated by a shadowy syndicate. West, cool-headed yet relentless, infiltrates a web of double agents, black-market profiteers, and a femme fatale whose charm masks lethal intent. Creasey’s breakneck prose, pulsing with wartime paranoia, paints a gritty tableau of a nation on edge: backroom deals in smoky pubs, coded missives, and a race against a ticking plot to cripple the Empire. As West dodges bullets and betrayal, the stakes rise to cataclysmic heights. A taut dispatch from espionage’s murky frontlines, where death lurks just beyond the gaslight’s glow.
