		Creasey dealt head-on with the problems of professional incompetence and police corruption.

	BBC - h2g2 - John Creasey (as Michael Halliday, Jeremy York, and Kyle Hunt) and Michael Fane and Dr Cellini
		Creasey found himself enjoying the freedom of writing without a series character about whom the story had to revolve, and decided to continue writing 'non-series' books under the Michael Halliday pseudonym.
		Unable to use the name Halliday in the USA because of the highly successful 'native' Brett Halliday, Creasey used the pseudonym Jeremy York for the Halliday books in that country, although York was already acquiring a different style and mood in Britain.

	Tangled Web UK Review - Introducing the Toff by John Creasey June 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Toff is not as famous as Creasey's Scotland Yard man, Gideon, or 'The Baron', both of whom featured in TV series in the sixties.
		Creasey was a remarkable man; he founded the Crime Writers Association and a political party, was a serial election candidate, married four times and travelled the world.
		But John Creasey honours his promise of undemanding entertainment, and there is nothing ignoble about that.

	BBC - h2g2 - John Creasey and Inspector West
		To add a touch of greater humanity, the John Creasey wrote his own sons, Martin and Richard, into the series, so countless readers are familiar with the year-by-year development of the two sons of Roger and Janet West.
		It is undoubtedly true that Creasey does suffer to some degree from the prejudice against quick writers among critics and in the trade itself.
		Creasey himself said that if he had to be judged by any single book he had written he would like it to be Look Three Ways at Murder.

		The early books were much longer than most, possessed a much more traditional novel quality, and led to the creation of Superintendent Folly, one of Creasey's less known but potentially most successful characters.
		There is much less violence and action in these books than in most by Creasey, and considerably more characterisation than in his earlier stories.

		Creasey which mentions John Adam Corn's land, which put together with the deed I already had where George Corne sold that land, fit the puzzle pieces together very well.
		Creasey had sold 200 acres of this land on Cunningham Creek to JOHN ADAM CORN and sold the remaining 200 acres to GEORGE ROADS in 1768.

	Gideon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		When senior British policemen lectured in the United States they were often asked about him - and several readers wrote to the John Creasey to say that they have visited Scotland Yard because they 'just had to try to see Gideon'.
		And John Creasey's amazing ability in portraying the depths of human feeling in the police, in criminals, and in the people with whom they both work and live, went from strength to strength.
		'His' was JJ Marric's art, for Creasey launched the Gideon books under the pseudonym of J (for John), J (for Jean, then his wife), Mar- (for his son Martin), and -Ric (for his son Richard).

	My Collections-John Creasey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Back in the late sixties and early seventies when I first read John Creasey books he was very popular and so when I rediscovered them in the late nineties I was appalled to find how few were in print or even held in my local library.
		Working within the obvious first requirement of fiction to entertain, I feel that the "Gideon" series of books give a realistic portrayal of police procedures of the 1950'/1960's as do the later books in the "Inspector West" series.
		No other author since Dickens has done more to show London in all its many-sided aspects than John Creasey in his unique "Gideon" series.
