The Liberator is one of John Creasey’s shortest series — just three books. Return to Adventure and Gateway to Escape appeared in 1943 and 1944, then the series went dormant for nearly thirty years before Come Home to Crime in 1973. The long gap makes the final entry something of a curiosity in Creasey’s catalog, a character revisited after decades away.
