What had been a pleasant day playing cricket became the start of a lethal fight against cocaine rings, gangsters and the criminal empire of The Black Circle.
This time the sinister Achmed Dragoli had chosen the wrong man to cross for Richard Rollison, the aristocrat known in the East End of London as ‘The Toff’ was as tough and remorseless an opponent as they come. Whether he would be in time to save the Circle’s latest victim was another matter…
Introducing The Toff, first published in 1938, is a typical John Creasey mystery; a ripping yarn and a fascinating document of social history as it dances between high society and the East End of London.
Seven years after John Creasey’s death in 1973, his books were out of print but now, starting with the Toff series, Creasey is back to delight both old and new readers with his skilful storytelling of timeless heroes and villains.
Four Toff books from the 1930s and 1940s are the first John Creasey re-issues from Tethered Camel Publishing, with one new Toff book per month from then on. The books are fascinating documents of social history, dancing between English high society and the bars and fight clubs of the East End of London. They are also ripping yarns.
In The Toff, John Creasey created a true old-fashioned hero who champions ladies, rights wrongs and grits his teeth to overcome impossible odds. Will he win, though? Of course he will. This is nostalgia at its best….the fun is in the telling.
