Summary
February 1918. Detective Inspector Harvey Marmion and Detective Sergeant Joe Keedy are pulled from their beds to attend a sinister siege involving three burglars where one policeman has already been shot dead. Attempts at talking the men in the house into surrender are met with stony silence so the police proceed to batter down the door and Keedy bravely leads the way. A gunshot is heard. Keedy is hit. As Keedy is rushed to hospital, Marmion is on the trail of the men who fled the scene and startling revelations emerge. A cold-blooded killer is intent on finishing the job he started and has Keedy in his sights.

Really good read.
Couldn’t put the book down which was listened to in a few days. Just so exciting.

Not for me!
I have read or listened to all of Edward Marstons books, but really this one was very poor. The basic story was OK and the narrator did the best he could with what he was given, but the female characters are getting worse with every subsequent story. They are needy and whine at every given opportunity. Nothing is ever right in their world. This is not what working class women were like in Edwardian times, most had strong personalities and dealt with the lot they were given otherwise they wouldn’t have survived. The idea that the daughter is a police woman is laughable she panics or bursts into tears at every given opportunity. Their characters totally ruined the story for me.
