Death's Doorway (English Edition)

Chief Inspector William 'Ironsides' Cromwell of the Yard had been hauled out of bed some time after midnight to hear the sensational news from the Assistant Commissioner himself. Lord Arlenford, Minister of National Defence, a man vital to Britain’s security, had been murdered at his country seat at Hinton Beverley. At the same time the theft of a valuable quantity of radium was announced—a coincidence that suggested to the Yard that enemy agents were on the track of Britain’s most closely guarded military secret and would not stop short of murder to attain their ends. Here is an intensely exciting thriller, told in Victor Gunn’s most dramatic manner.
