The Yellow Bungalow Mystery (1935)
Rosa Lee, adventuress and woman of mystery, is stabbed to death at her home, the Yellow Bungalow, while Martin Dare, the African explorer, is spending a few days with friends close by. She was murdered with an Arab dagger Dare had presented to his host. When Detective-Inspector Anthony Slade, Mr Gribble’s well-known detective, arrives on the scene he finds that four people might have committed the crime. Their alibis depended upon one another, their motives were strong, and two of them had visited the murdered woman secretly within a few minutes of the actual killing. Which of them was the murderer? Or was there some one unknown? Slade’s investigation soon revealed others who might have committed the crime, but somehow he was not satisfied with the theories he tried out. Actually he had made a brilliant piece of deduction and it was this that led him astray. But he solves the riddle in the end, and in his usual dramatic fashion.
Murder First Class (1946)
A vintage English murder mystery set onboard a moving train.
The Frightened Chameleon (1951)
Superintendent Anthony Slade, of Scotland Yard, arrives in Paris to enquire into the strange disappearance of a man using a false name. He says to solve one of the most baffling cases of his career.
In company with Inspector Henri Duval of the Paris Surete, he journeys across Europe on the trail of a man it is not humanly possible to find. In a Swiss sanatorium he meets a person whose very existence is a secret kept from the world, and back in Paris with Duval he learns why Charles Gentian, the financial freebooter known as the Chameleon, was frightened.
The Glass Alibi (1952)
A young man is caught up in a mystery that begins for him when two plain-clothed men approach him one night outside his flat. From that moment his life changes. By the next morning he is a subject for newspaper paragraphs and he knows what it means to live the furtive existence of a fugitive.
For a week that strange double life continues, always under the eyes of Slade, who is hunting a callous murderer. It is possible that he would not have continued with this desperate game had it not been for lovely June Kragle, herself sought by the police. The two make a bid to help the police – only to find that Slade takes the rubber in a thrilling finale that breaks a killer’s glass alibi.
She Died Laughing (1953)
Superintendent Anthony Slade arrives on the Riviera in search of lovely Gloria Kincaid. Before he finds her a killer strikes, and she dies with laughter spilling from her lips. In the company of Inspector Henry Duval, of the Sûreté Nationale, Slade faces one of his most puzzling cases. The two detectives, who worked in double harness previously in The Frightened Chameleon, now have to find a murderer who strikes again, and yet again.
Slowly the weft and woof of a tangled skein of mystery unfolds into a pattern of almost unbelievable duplicity. A white Jaguar crashes on the Grande Corniche. A yacht steams first into French waters, then Italian, then back again. Marcus Mordayne, one of the more florid wayside blooms along the torturous path of international crime, provides his own complications, for his own personal reasons. Tragedy unfolds in a deserted house in Juan-les-pins. Such facts provide the painstaking Yard man with pieces that fir into an extravagant jigsaw of human emotions.
Alias the Victim (1971)
Anthony Slade has become Commander of Scotland Yard’s new Command Squad, which is to work as a crime-fighting team in liaison with police forces throughout the country. Sally Dean, who has had Ghost Squad experience, is invited to join the new Squad which, among other objectives, is endeavouring to solve the mystery surrounding her husband’s murder. He had been a British agent working to prevent an international coup that would have created havoc among British financial interests abroad.
You Can’t Die Tomorrow (1975)
When Commander Anthony Slade, chief of the Yard’s Command Squad, received an anonymous late-night telephone call about a prisoner being released within a few hours, he decided he had to take immediate action. The prisoner had been involved in a bank raid in which a hundred and twenty thousand pounds in cash vanished. Later one of the raiders died in a road accident in which appearances were very deceptive. The mysterious caller failed to keep a secret rendezvous and this gave the latest recruit to the Command Squad, Detective Sergeant Mike Rennie, the chance to meet a young widow who knew more about a dangerous criminal set-up than was at first apparent, although murder seemed to dog her fast and elusive footsteps.
