Don't Let Him Kill is a gripping British Golden Age mystery and a standout piece of fiction by Edgar Award-winning author John Creasey. This first volume follows retired detective Patrick Dawlish, who becomes the target of a relentless vendetta.

Now that Gorman is free, Dawlish faces a violent campaign of terror involving car bombs and mocking phone calls. The situation escalates when a close friend's wife is abducted. As the chaos grows, Dawlish realizes a terrifying possibility. If Gorman is not the mastermind behind these attacks, another hidden enemy is using the conman as a cover, creating a threat that is far more difficult to stop.
