Death Round the Corner (Department Z, #4)

Leopold Gorman studied the World Economic Conference with interest – and then picked five rich and powerful men to bring his plan to fruition. If any one of them had shown reluctance to fall in with his scheme, he would be dead within an hour…. By the end of 1935, Gorman anticipated complete success. The only man who was causing him any anxiety was Gordon Craigie, Chief of British Intelligence, but the way to reduce the risk, Gorman told himself, was to kill Craigie’s agents, the men of Department Z.It was about this time, too, that Craigie himself decided that Gorman needed watching. And Gorman resolved that Tony Beresford, assigned by Craigie to follow him, should be next to “disappear”.
