About this book
Cleek of Scotland Yard by Thomas W. Hanshew drags listeners into a shadowy, fast-paced detective thriller set against the fog-bound streets and continental intrigues of the early 20th century. When the notorious Margot, Queen of the Apaches, slips free on bail and vanishes, Superintendent Maverick Narkom is left grappling with inexplicable murders, whispered revolutions in Mauravania, and the alarming disappearance of his most brilliant sleuth, Hamilton Cleek.
Hanshew’s collection of detective stories blends puzzle-driven mystery, international espionage, and high-stakes political plotting—spying, horse-napping, bombs and daring disguises all feature in a world where Cleek’s mastery of disguise and deduction is both legend and necessity. The atmospherics of Edwardian London and continental danger combine with brisk, ingenious plotting to keep tension taut without giving away solutions.
Perfect for fans of classic detective fiction and vintage mystery audiobooks, Cleek of Scotland Yard appeals to listeners who enjoy cerebral sleuthing, period detail, and pulp-era thrills. Tune in for a rousing slice of historical crime fiction that balances clever whodunits with international spycraft—an ideal listen for anyone craving atmospheric, old-school thrills.
