Preview Cheyney's Law
Description:
Colonel Allen Cheyney is shaped in the ould of predecessors who are household ames in the fictional world of Clubland heroes.
Cheyney ‘had refused all decoration, including the V.C. and a knighthood ... He had unmasked Philby though it had taken im years ...to do it; and he had killed Philby's spymaster, Markham, missing the servant by hours in Beirut. He kept a dog, and a flat, and was restoring a ruined jouse in Scotland.’
Here, in his first recorded adventure, Cheyney is called on to help a friend whose on has vanished. And In vanishing Tommy had left behind a very distinctive black octagonal badge which was of particular interest to Superintendent Pierce of the Metropolitan C.1.D. Scotland Yard had seen ome of thése badges before, but only in the possession of master crooks and terrorists. How had one come into the possession of young Tommy Graham?
Soon the action becomes fast and furious. Cheyney and Pierce find themselves In deadly trouble. One escape only leads to another capture — and in the end Cheyney finds himself fighting alone against a gang headed by a man bent on evil and wickedness, crazed with power, greed and hatred.
There are many scenes of violence — in country houses, in shady London clubs, and on the West coast of Scotland when the denouement finally comes.
