Book Description

Robert Fabian began as an ordinary constable, walking the regulation beat, and worked his way up through all the grades of the C.I.D.

Here he reveals an entralling picture of the C.I.D. in its day to day work, quietly but efficiently dealing with the routine burglar, the blackmailer, forger and confidence trickster. Few men understand better the workings of the criminal mind; from his earliest days as a probationer detective, he made a point of frequenting the cafes and dives to which hardened old Jags tend to return, and from them he earned a strange kind of loyalty, which on more than one occasion helped him to solve a difficult crime.

But the underworld also knew that when Fabian was roused, it faced an enemy whose pursuit would be relentless and whose brain could out-wit the most cunning.
