A taut novel of suspense, Cunning as a Fox by Michael Halliday — a pseudonym of prolific British crime writer John Creasey — delivers the clever plotting and nerve-shredding tension that made Creasey one of the most celebrated genre writers of the twentieth century. The story chronicles a battle of wits between cunning adversaries, unfolding at a relentless pace that keeps the reader guessing until the final page. Halliday's prose is sharp and economical, presenting morally complex characters set against a backdrop of post-war British intrigue. As with all of Creasey's output under his many pen names, the narrative argues that intelligence and resourcefulness are the ultimate weapons, more powerful than brute force. A quintessential mid-century British thriller, it remains a rewarding read for fans of classic suspense fiction.
