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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888000250075,"sku":"2026100006453-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9843872e-2bd7-4350-b0b3-20a55070f628.png?v=1781752088","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100006453-secondhand-cunning-as-a-fox","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
