Hardback. Condition: Good. Here we have The Executioners (1967) by John Creasey , published by Hodder and Stoughton ? ISBN: none , Condition: Good , sold by Crappy Old Books ? and crucially: an Ex-Library copy , complete with the library ticket pouch in the back and stamps showing numerous loans between 1971 and 1972 . Which is frankly perfect, because if there?s any author who feels born to be borrowed repeatedly by strangers who fancy a brisk dose of menace, it?s John Creasey. Creasey wasn?t so much a novelist as a production line for tension. He wrote crime and suspense with the confident efficiency of a man who knows exactly what you came for and has no intention of wasting your time with lyrical meandering. You pick up a Creasey and within minutes you?re in motion: people with motives, problems with sharp edges, and a plot that moves like a police car in a hurry. And The Executioners is not a title that pretends to be cosy. This is not ?A Mildly Awkward Incident at the Vicarage? This is The Executioners ? two words that suggest grim certainty, organised nastiness, and consequences delivered with enthusiasm. It?s the kind of book that wears a dark suit, doesn?t smile much, and knows where you live. Now, let?s talk about the ex-library angle, because it?s delicious. This book has history . Not just the 1967 publication date, but the lived social history of being a working library copy in the early 1970s ? when a thriller was something you got out on a Friday, devoured over the weekend, and returned on Monday with the quiet satisfaction of having survived it. Those 1971?1972 stamps are basically a tiny audit trail of suspense consumption. You can picture it: someone in 1971, perhaps in a raincoat, selecting this from a shelf with fluorescent lighting and a faint smell of carpet and public funding. They take it home, open it, and promptly lose a few hours to Creasey?s no-nonsense pace. Then someone else borrows it. Then someone else. A chain of readers, all wanting the same thing: a competent, efficient thriller that doesn?t mess about. In other words, the library treated The Executioners exactly as it should be treated: circulated, handled, read, and enjoyed . And the ticket pouch is the cherry on top. It?s a little relic of pre-digital life, when reading left physical evidence. Before databases. Before barcodes on everything. When the book itself kept the receipts. Condition-wise, it?s listed as Good , which in Crappy Old Books terms means it?s still a solid, readable survivor. The binding is sound. The pages are intact. And yes, it has the expected ex-library marks: stamps, pouch, perhaps a few reminders that this object once belonged to the people. It?s not a pristine collector?s showpiece ? it?s a proper working copy with scars of duty. And honestly, that suits a Creasey perfectly. A spotless copy would feel like it hasn?t earned the tension. Ideal for: Readers who like classic British crime fiction with pace and purpose Collectors of ex-library books and their wonderfully tangible provenance Creasey fans who enjoy the ?professional thriller? style ? clear, brisk, efficient Anyone who finds old library stamps oddly moving (because they are) So if you want a sharp-edged, mid-century thriller with an extra layer of real-world backstory ? a book that has been vetted by multiple 1971 borrowers and found worthy of repeat loans ? this is it. Good condition. Ex-library. Ticket pouch intact. Proven popular 1971?1972. Crappy Old Books proudly supplies the executioners ? with the paperwork to prove they?ve been out on the streets.
