Gideon's Men — John Creasey

here is no end to crime in London as Gideon knows all too well, working day in day out to keep the streets safer. But Gideon and his men have real lives too and personal problems that can sometimes interfere with the job at hand. As landlords neglect their tenants, buildings collapse and protests break out, the Ministry of Housing and the Home Office are called in and questions raised about how the foundations became so weak.

Meanwhile, Gideon digs up old files, convinced that the killer of a Rosamund Lee is the same man who murdered a Mrs. Entwhistle three years earlier. The Commander is determined to find the real killer and free the wrongly convicted Mr. Entwhistle, to reunite him after three years with his children.
