This is really the Gilberts I love. Urban (Londong) procedural investigations with really smart police (often Petrella). This is early in Petrella's career and though clearly a gifted character, Gilbert never makes it easy for him. His career is often at risk. The violence is limited, but what there is quick and brutal. Good stuff.

10. A Kind of Anger by Eric Ambler
(written Dec 5, catching up)
I have a beautiful Atheneum book club edition of this later Ambler (1964), in great condition. The story is a nice combination of sleazy journalism and current (at the time)events. A reporter gets caught up in the middle of a murder of an expat Kurdish general and flees with his mistress. A little more fanastical in the end than is usual for Ambler, and a lot of fun.
