Gideon's Day | J. J. Marric

Pickpick

Published 1955. One day in the exciting life of Scotland Yard‘s Inspector George Gideon. Within 15 hrs, he matches wits with hoodlums, dope pushers and other criminals. Gideon is a most believable and well-drawn character. I would love to read more about Gideon. Read for my #CenturyofMysteryChallenge Recommended for mystery lovers. Full of nostalgia of 50/60 era. Also a popular TV series staring John Gregson.

rretzler I hadn‘t realized how prolific Creasey was. I‘m familiar with his Department Z series and didn‘t know he had so many other pseudonyms! 5y
EadieB @rretzler He published in excess of 600 books under 20+ different pseudonyms. I'll have to check out Department Z series. I like his writing! (edited) 5y

Paul McCartney has said that "Got To Get You Into My Life" was "an ode to pot, like other people would write an ode to chocolate or a good claret." So here's a police procedural that features DOPE PEDDLING, in scenes that I described in my LibraryThing review as having a "Reefer Madness" kind of feel ? #HeyJune
