The Thirties Thriller
The thrillers of the 1930s almost constitute a weather chart of the different codes of honour at work in Britain during that decade. The writer Simon Rees reflects on 30s thriller-writers, including the swashbuckling Dornford Yates , the trimming Communist C. Day Lewis, alias Nicholas Blake , and the withdrawn, often misunderstood, John Buchan.
