Overview: Lemmy Caution is a fictional character created by British writer Peter Cheyney (1896–1951). Caution was first portrayed as a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent, and in later stories as a private detective.
Cheyney’s first book with the character was published in 1936. When ‘This Man Is Dangerous’ was released, Cheyney was working for the Metropolitan Police as a police reporter and crime investigator, but the novel’s success enabled him to become a professional author. Cheyney wrote eleven Lemmy Caution novels between 1936 and 1946. The Lemmy Caution radio series was broadcast in the 1940s in Australia and New Zealand.

1. This Man Is Dangerous (1937)
In the first of the Lemmy Caution series, a group of organised gangsters are operating a ‘snatch’ racket, laying a plan – worked out in the minutest detail – to kidnap the daughter of an American millionaire while she is in England. And their plot must not only account for the actual luring of the victim into the snare and the collection of the ransom money, but also evade interference from the English police and rival gangs.
3. Poison Ivy (1937)
Lemmy Caution is sent by his bosses to Casablanca to investigate the disappearance of two million dollars, which have seemingly vanished into thin air. There he meets Carlotta de la Rue, the eponymous Poison Ivy, whose character is based on a true-life femme fatale nightclub singer. Lemmy soon uncovers a gang of gold smugglers, whose boss might be Rudy Saltierra, Carlotta’s boyfriend. She, in turn, may or may not be on Lemmy’s side.
