This book is a compilation of 3 of his best works, Gideon's Day, Gideon's Week, and Gideon's Night. Marric writes the best police procedurals I've ever read. His books are all about Scotland Yard. The characters repeat throughout the series. I enjoy that, because you can see the characters evolve over the years and watch relationships develop.

The book revolves, however, around George Gideon, Commander of Scotland Yard. Gideon is the heart of the police force. Not a single man is unworthy of his attention. He is briefed and ready on every single case.

I just love these books! I wish they were in print again. ( )
