Dark Mystery by John Creasey

The contents of a locker lead an amateur sleuth into danger in this classic British mystery by the author of the Department Z series.



He may be a fruit farmer from Surrey, but Patrick Dawlish also knows a thing or two about fighting crime. Although he frequently collaborates with the police, he has been known to assist civilians on occasion . . .



Wayward millionairess Judy Bell is all alone in the world. She has seen something frightening and desperately needs Dawlish's help . . . but then she goes missing. Determined to find the vulnerable young woman alive, Dawlish deduces there is only one way to do so-get abducted. The plan may seem reckless, but then again, so is Dawlish.
Master crime fiction writer John Creasey's near six hundred titles have sold more than eighty million copies in over twenty-five languages under both his own name and ten other pseudonyms. His style varied with each identity and led to him being regarded as a literary phenomenon. Among the many series written were Gideon of Scotland Yard, The Toff, The Baron, Dr. Palfrey, and Inspector West, as J.J. Marric, Michael Halliday, Patrick Dawlish, and others. During his lifetime, Creasey enjoyed an ever-increasing reputation both in the UK and overseas, especially the US. He was honored twice by the Mystery Writers of America, latterly as Grand Master. He also founded the Crime Writers Association and became heavily involved in British politics, standing for Parliament and founding a movement based on finding the best professionals in each sphere to run things.
