5.0 out of 5 stars Another riveting read from Malcolm Saville, 28 Jun 1999
By A Customer
All of Malcolm's books stand up to the test of time just as much as Enid Blyton or other contemporaries, they are less well-known but shouldn't be. This, obviously, is set in London (but the London of earlier in the century when people still wore hats and gloves to go to the West End). It is an exciting adventure about forged pictures and contains some excellent description of Fleet Street at that time. There are some wonderful murky characters as usual and great scene setting and the usual action-packed storyline which rolls along.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Pesky Kids !", 24 Sep 2002
By J. J. O'neill "rotgut" (Warrington UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This book begins with surely the most atypical opening scene in all of Saville's twenty Lone Pine adventures. A football match between Tottenham Hotspur and Sunderland is, though, little more than a backdrop to a rather uninspired chance meeting with an old enemy, certainly the dramatic effect of sport itself is not fully utilised, as , say John Buchan does, to enliven a mystery-thriller yarn. But even so, the opening is memorable and unusual.

Perhaps it is because it is Saville's ubergeek, Jon Warrender, who is watching the footballers that more attention is paid to likely criminals in the massive crowd than to the exciting match unfolding before his bespectacled eyes.

Jon's journey home through the foggy streets does achieve a certain menace, mainly through its prosaic detail.

Once again, the villain of the piece is the unpleasant Miss Ballinger, now becoming so shadowy she is rather like Professor Moriarty, too evil to actually appear in the story. Reports come back of her second hand through most of the book, under various aliases.

Surely though, she has been thwarted by the Lone Piners so often, in so many imaginative crimes, that she would be forgiven for crying out, as her counterfeiting printing press is discovered : " I would have got away with it.....if it wasn't for those pesky kids !"
