An American gangster brings his bloody business to 1930s Britain in this suspenseful thriller from an Edgar Award-winning author.
Amateur boxer Martin Storm's visit to New York seemed like it was a success. That is, until his car was machine-gunned and the police had to smuggle him out of the country.
But Storm finds no safety at home, either, and the search begins to find the man who is hunting him down.
He soon discovers that he has become involved with an American underworld boss who is planning to expand his business to Britain. Will he be able to bob and weave his way out of the gangster's clutches, with some help from the detectives of Department Z - or will this be his final match?

John Creasey, born in 1908, was a paramount English crime and science fiction writer who used myriad pseudonyms for more than six hundred novels. He founded the UK Crime Writers' Association in 1953. In 1962, his book Gideon's Fire received the Edgar Award for Best Novel from the Mystery Writers of America. Many of the characters featured in Creasey's titles became popular, including George Gideon of Scotland Yard, who was the basis for a subsequent television series and film. Creasey died in Salisbury, UK, in 1973.
