Inspector Gideon of Scotland Yard has had enough. Enough, such that
Gideon (or GG) lays his career on the line in opposition to budget cuts.
Criminals are escaping through the thin blue line. And the Home
Secretary is none too pleased at him for taking internal politics
public. Will the great man save both the public and his job?
'The King of Crime' wrote an astonishing number of crime and mystery
books, selling more than 80 million copies worldwide in 28 languages
over five decades. His most famous characters include The Baron,
Inspector West, and Gideon. The Creasey Dagger is the UK's top award for
first time crime novelists with winners including Patricia Cornwell and
Minette Walters. Creasey is an inspiration to the aspiring but as yet
unpublished author. He had 743 rejection slips before his first book was
accepted. He never stopped believing in himself and he never gave up. He
wasn't afraid to take risks either - writing under 10 different names
and changing styles with each character.
