John Creasey Books Overview

Meet the Baron / The Man in the Blue Mask

John Manering aka The Baron makes his first appearance in this volume. Lord Fauntley cannot help showing off both his daughter and the security under which his precious jewels are kept. Mannering finds himself attracted to both…
. Money is tight and so he plans a burglary, but this fails and unexpected consequnces result. The relationship with Lorna Fauntley flourishes, and a series of high profile thefts and adventures ensure Mannering’s future, so he believes, until Lorna equates him with The Baron. One of the many further twists in this award winning novel occurs when the police appear to seek Mannering’s help, only to have everything turned upside down as the plot develops…
. .

Help from the Baron

The Fioras jewels are missing and Francesca Lisle, one of John Mannering’s aka The Baron neighbours, is mysteriously asked by her father to retrieve a leather holdall from underneath the floorboards and take it to him at Waterloo station. Francesca is kidnapped, however, and ends up in the River Thames. Meanwhile, Joy Lessing is also kidnapped, or so it would seem…
. . Mannering is unwittingly involved and sets off to investigate, but cannot tell the police everything he discovers. Acting almost alone he must somehow outwit the other players in a complex plot of deceit and duplicity, and also deal with the notorious Ephraim Scoby.

Introducing the Toff

A little road rage was not unusual even in the 1940s, but the Toff was not expecting bullets to be part of the argument when his Allard blocked the path of an oncoming Daimler in an English country lane. What had been a pleasant day playing cricket became the start of a lethal fight against cocaine rings, gangsters and the criminal empire of The Black Circle.

The Toff Proceeds

One of the earliest entries in the Toff series, this was originally published in 1941. Take two beautiful girls who look enough alike to pass for twin sisters; add one very large fortune about to be inherited by a ne’er do well; stir in a generous amount of uncontrolled greed, and you have the recipe for murder. Richard Rollison The Toff to the police and underworlds of a dozen countries was in the mood for a weekend of fun and games. He was NOT prepared to be the stand in for a murder victim!

The Toff Goes to Market

MysteryLarge Print EditionA slightly illegal neighborhood service was what some people considered the black market. After all, when luxuries are in short supply, its only natural for astute businessmen to find a way of turning a dishonest dollar. But the black market meant more to the men of Scotland Yard, and when the Toffs Aunt Mattie bought a shortcut to death from her friendly neighborhood crook, Rollison found himself mixed in with retail profiteering and wholesale murder!

The Toff and the Lady

The letter was addressed simply to ‘The Toff, London W1.’ Inside it was a photograph of a lovely woman. The lady herself had arrived at a society ball the previous night, looking deadly pale in black satin and mink. She said she had lost her memory and nobody knew who she was. Within days, murder and intrigue had followed her.

The Toff in New York

‘Say, Miss Hall, I hope that brother of yours hasn’t run into any trouble.’ But Will Hall had been kidnapped and the Honourable Richard Rollison, known by many by the apt if absurd soubriquet of the ‘Toff’ is soon on the scene, but not before a murdered man had fallen into Valerie Hall’s arms. There’s lots of action in ‘millionaire surroundings’, with a rich private eye and the NYPD all on the case, whilst the Toff tracks Dutch Himmy, surely the worst man in New York…
.

The Toff and the Stolen Tresses

MysteryLarge Print EditionThree lovely heads have been shorn long, silken hair has been cut off and the Toff is faced with one of the most ingenious gangs of criminals that he has ever encountered. Clue after clue blazes a twisting and unexpected trail. And the Honourable Richard Rollison is drawn into an exciting climax deep in the heart of the East End, as he attempts to find a solution to the problem of the stolen tresses…

Inspector West Takes Charge

Extortion is the name of the game and the method is to murder anyone who might get in the way. The Dreem factory and much else is at stake. Inspector West has to unravel it all at gun point, but not without difficulty and surprise . .

Gideon’s Day / Gideon of Scotland Yard

Gideon’s day is a busy one. He balances family commitments with solving a series of seemingly unrelated crimes from which a plot nonetheless evolves and a mystery is solved. One of the most senior officers within Scotland Yard, George Gideon’s crime solving abilities are in the finest traditions of London’s world famous police headquarters. His analytical brain and sense of fairness is respected by colleagues and villains alike.

Gideon’s Fire

Commander George Gideon of Scotland Yard has to deal successively with news of a mass murderer, a depraved maniac, and the deaths of a family in an arson attack on an old building south of the river. This leaves little time for the crisis developing at home.
