The Streets of Town

September, 1940.

Chaos and mistrust reign as the terrifying Blitz begins.

Detective Sergeant Suzie Mountford is back with a brand new case in the London suburb of Camford.

After a local restaurant owner, Carlo Falconetti, has his fingers broken mysteriously and a local punter, Buller Belcher, is found dead, supposedly murdered by a group of drunk military men, WDS Suzie Mountford is assigned the case.

But something doesnâ€™t add up and Mountfordâ€™s attention is turned to the Balvak twins, Connie and Conrad, who appear more and more suspicious and lethal than ever.

Camfordâ€™s bars and clubs are run by the notorious gangster twins and their criminal activities have given them a dangerous reputation.

Their notable cronies are just as deadly; Shady Porky Pine, Matthew 'Newcastle' Brown and the Trinity Building Co. trio , Dave, Dick and Derek, are causing a storm.

The Balvakâ€™s cut throat justice and mob rules apply to even their closest companions.

When they discover that their right hand man and accountant Little Nell is stealing money from them, his life is in serious dangerâ€¦

Mountford must navigate her way through a web of corruption and misleading evidence while protecting and hiding a witness of the murder, a terrified waitress named Sybil.

With the help of her lover Tommy Livermore, Suzie must uncover the truth and bring the Balvak twins to justice.

But is Tommy and Suzieâ€™s relationship put in jeopardy when Tommy visits the beautiful Molly Abelard?

How will Suzie cope with the office politics in the police department and complications in her love life?

And who is the mysterious Ghoul that only appears late at night to retrieve the dead from the wreckage?

What connection does this spirit have to the case? Will his strange appearances aid Suzie before she runs out of time...?

Before coming an author of fiction in the early 1960â€™s, John Gardner was variously a stage magician, a Royal Marine officer and a journalist. In all Gardner has fifty-four novels to his credit, including â€˜Maestroâ€™, which was the New York Times book of the year. He was also invited by Ian Flemingâ€™s literary copyright holders to write a series of continuation James Bond novels, which proved to be so successful that instead of the contracted three books he went on to publish some fourteen titles, including â€˜Licence Renewedâ€™ and â€˜Icebreakerâ€™. Having lived in the Republic of Ireland, the United States and the UK, John Gardner sadly died in August of 2007 having just completed his third novel in the Moriarty trilogy, Conan Doyleâ€™s eponymous villain of the Sherlock Holmes series.
