Behind the Yellow blindness 5e J WALLING Robert Alfred John 1869 1949 was was incredibly prolific author who wrote over thirty crime novels as well as numerous biographies Travel history and other non fiction works Behind the Yellow Blind A Golden Age Mystery Merlin Classic Crime Although at times as ever with Walling s works I felt like prodding the author with a big stick and telling him to get on with it this proved to be quite a good read. Book Behind the Yellow blinded Narrated by a rather naive would be journalist George Nelson it is the tale of murders committed during an investigation of a gang dealing in cocaine and the attempt by Scotland Yard and others to pin down the Mr Big behind it all. Behind the Yellow blindvermogen The regular detectives Superintendent McSiccar and Inspector Garstang are atypical The wonderfully named Superintendent derived from the Scots phrase mak siccar or make sure is wily and blunt while his sidekick is described thus Young vigorous well educated and unconventional Garstang was something new in my experience of detectives Also in the frame is the somewhat mysterious figure of Brander an American representative of a society dedicated to tracking down and prosecuting dope fiends. Behind the Yellow Blind book summary If the plot seems somewhat redolent of Edgar Wallace and other standard thrillers of the 1920s and 30s it is but the characterisation is stronger and the flashes of wit sharper than is usual The villain is well concealed and the mystery maintained to the end, Behind the Yellow Blind book review It was published in the United States as MURDER AT MIDNIGHT R[1]
