Publisher's Summary:
There was a lot at stake for the Baron in this new case; far more than the mere recovery of the Wannaker jewels. He was also working for the safety of Helen Chadwick, seeking to uncover the truth about Robbie Chadwick, and on the hunt for Dizzy who was no ordinary crook. And meanwhile, the net steadily closes around him and he has to work fast.

Editorial Reviews:
This novel from crime writer John Creaseys Baron series sees the title character (also known as John Mannering) searching for jewels stolen from a wealthy American named Wannaker.
Soon afterward, people involved with the Wannaker Heist begin dying. The Baron, a thief-turned-jeweler, realizes that the culprits are after something much more valuable than the jewels.
With The Baron Goes Fast, Creasey, whose 600 crime novels have sold 80 million copies around the world, has written an intelligently and fiendishly plotted crime novel that is performed with gimlet-eyed intensity by Carl Prekopp.
