Death in the Trees by John Creasey
A British secret agent must find a killer to clear his name in this classic crime novel by the author of the Department Z series.
Patrick Dawlish is many things: a fruit farmer, a boxer, a war hero, a British Secret Service agent, and, of course, a husband. He is not, however, a traitor, as Prof. Gurth Haffmeyer has everyone believing. The real traitor--who trades government secrets and is responsible for the deaths of many loyal British and American agents--is Haffmeyer himself.
In order to clear his name, Dawlish travels to a forest in America's Pacific Northwest to get Haffmeyer to talk, but when he arrives the professor is already dead. Now, Dawlish's only lead to find the killer is Haffmeyer's beautiful wife, Vanessa. The trouble is that she's now pointing a gun at 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.
