I really enjoyed this book. It had me hooked from the start. I wanted to know what happened next at the end of each chapter. I would recommend this book.

Enjoyable hokum as Inspector Roger West is tricked into becoming the prime suspect in the murder of a young woman, the scene of whose death he’s been lured to. West is blackmailed into joining ruthless organised criminals as an “inside man” at Scotland Yard, his name, appearance and voice altered so that he is unrecognisable even to close colleagues! In order to discover just who the criminal mastermind known as Kennedy actually is, West, showing remarkable sangfroid, goes along with the scheme. He is assumed dead by everyone (including his own wife and young sons) except his protégé, Sloan, who searches for him, but even Sloan doesn’t realise that Charles Rayner, successful businessman, is actually West.
By the way, I assume that every married couple has a number of secret codewords to prove that one of us hasn’t been replaced by a doppelgänger. We were spooked by a ludicrous plot-line in Dynasty. No? Just us then.
Apparently John Creasey wrote over 600 novels. He’ll keep me out of mischief for a while then.
