Description: THE CLOCK TICKS ONby VALENTINE WILLIAMSCollier & Son (1930’s)Secret Service Series Condition: no jacket, some shelf wear; slight browning of pages due to age; very good.Note added 7/2020: I have two more copies, all in good shape. Note: for each book, on the copyright page, is printed in small letters, one of these indicators: MA, TS, or EO. Gangsters, a Scotland Yard official in New York, the threatened execution of the wrong man in England -- and romance. Bespectacled Trevor Dene is one of the bright young men of Scotland Yard. A Cambridge graduate, he is resented by some older colleagues because of his education and social polish. Dene is married to an American and spends as much time detecting in the United States as in England, solving crimes on a wealthy Long Island estate and in the Adirondacks. Commentaries on line: I enjoyed this book very much. You will fall in love with the main character--a bespectacled red-haired young Scotland Yard detective who travels to America on an intricate case. I especially liked his gentlemanly, protective ways. (Maybe because I was raised among men who believed women should be treated like ladies?) The story is very well constructed and Williams writing flows like water in an unimpeded river. Highly recommend all his books. The story is a quite exciting one--mixing a bit of good old deduction and clue-finding with a dash of gangster-filled, high-speed chases and the threat of machine-gun toting hitmen. There is also a damsel in distress and the hint of romance for our hero... if the lady is on the up and up and isn't taking him for a ride.______________ WOW!
