Gideon #10 | J.J. Marric

Here Creasey-Marric studies a British general-election campaign, fascinating in its similarities and contrasts to our own, and examines especially its police aspects -- the protection of candidates (from burglars among other things), the dangerous activities of extremists of right and left (which go so far as the theft of an atomic device) -- and the regular police problems, which persist no matter what the electoral situation.

Eve of Election rallies-and the threat of nuclear destruction.
A General Election was imminent-which meant more work for Commander Gideon of the Yard. Eve of Poll rallies were scheduled for November 5th, and that was too significant a date in Parliamentary history to be comfortable. Today the House of Commons had new enemies whose fanaticism was equal to that of Guy Fawkes so long ago.
And if they had modern weapons in their hands, they could destroy on a far vaster scale...
Then a top nuclear scientist went missing, along with a vital piece of atomic equipment. And as the crowds amassed for the greatest peace rally ever held, only Gideon knew the true irony-and appalling danger-of the situation. For those enemies now had the power to destroy the whole of London at the press of a button.
`A portrait emerges that is probably very like that of a good police officer, the portrait of a man both tough and conscientious, not intellectual, but extremely shrewd
