Death on the Move
(1945)(Book 12 in the Patrick Dawlish series)
A novel by Gordon Ashe (John Creasey)
When a young woman is found strangled after a dance, a strange new tattoo on her body the police have no doubts that the killer is her dance partner and immediately arrest the man. Then two months later in the same deserted place Patrick Dawlish finds a second body but the police's number one suspect is already safely locked away.
The second woman also bears the same mark on her shoulder, a small five-point star surrounded by a circle, a pentagram. The mark of the devil.
Fiction maestro John Creasey ( 1908 - 1973 ) was and remains an enigma. He was one of the biggest selling and (by most measures) the most prolific producer of fiction, of the 20th century, writing over 620 novels in both his own name and through over 25 different pseudonyms including; Gordon Ashe, Michael Halliday, Jeremy York, Norman Deane, Anthony Morton and JJ Maric.
Creasey's popularity is as staggering as his output with book sales approaching 100 million copies across 29 languages in over 100 countries. At the peak of his commercial success Creasey was selling 4 million books a year in the UK and USA alone. Protagonists such as Gideon of Scotland Yard, The Baron and The Toff are lynchpins of British post war crime fiction, and several Creasey works were adapted for TV and film.
Genre: Mystery
