H.C. McNeile

The thrilling debut of Bulldog Drummond, England’s bravest veteran 

In the waning days of World War I, four men gather in a Swiss hotel. Two are German, one is American—and the last is a citizen of the world and a master of disguise. To enter this exclusive club, there are only two requirements: a desire to see England destroyed and the means to make it happen.

In London, Captain Hugh “Bulldog” Drummond, formerly of His Majesty’s Royal Loamshire Regiment, grapples with the tedium of civilian life. Eager for action, he places an ad offering himself up for adventure licit or illicit—anything so long as it is exciting. He is soon hired by Phyllis Benton, whose father has come under the sway of the sinister organization plotting to bring down the British government and replace it with a dictatorship. Bulldog will risk life and limb to save not only his beloved England, but the charming Miss Phyllis, as well.

The first installment in H. C. McNeile’s postwar adventure novels revolutionized the thriller genre and introduced one of popular fiction’s most enduring heroes.

The Bulldog Drummond Thrillers

Bulldog Drummond

A fearsome cadre of ex-soldiers joins Bulldog Drummond on his second explosive adventure

Eight evil men assemble in an English country house. Thieves, white slavers, drug dealers, and communists, they share one common goal: the destruction of everything that England holds dear. Police surround the manor in preparation for a raid. Suddenly, a gang of men in black masks appears and knocks the officers unconscious. Whips in hand, the Black Gang enters the house—and the crooks inside beg for the soft touch of the police.

A conspiracy against the English crown is afoot, the plotters operating just within the boundaries of the law—making it impossible for Scotland Yard to intervene. Thankfully, the Black Gang has no such restraints. Led by the fearless veteran Bulldog Drummond, they will stop at nothing to save England, no matter how many lashings they must deliver along the way.

The Black Gang

In his thrilling third adventure, Bulldog Drummond battles a hired thug with grand aspirations 

Edward Blackton stares across the crystal waters of Lake Geneva, dreaming of a score big enough to transform him from mere criminal genius to world-dominating mastermind. His recent audience with two panicked representatives of an international diamond cartel may be his big chance. A British professor has perfected the cheap manufacture of precious stones, endangering the very existence of the diamond industry. To safeguard the cartel’s millions, Blackton will make the professor see reason—or send him to his grave.

Luckily, the professor can call on Bulldog Drummond, enemy of criminal syndicates everywhere. Stopping Blackton will mean a chase across England and beyond—and a dip into the dangerous waters that Drummond navigates like no other.

Bulldog Drummond's Third Round

To save England, Bulldog Drummond prepares for a final showdown with his greatest nemesis

It has been years since Bulldog Drummond, World War I hero and bruising champion of democracy, saw any sign of the archfiend known as Carl Peterson. The sinister master of disguise may have gone to ground, but Drummond knows he is out there somewhere, waiting for a final opportunity to spread deadly terror across the capitals of Western Europe. He is about to get his chance.

A few years after the armistice, British inventor Robin Gaunt puts the finishing touches on a superweapon with the capacity to slaughter an entire nation in an instant. Just before he can deliver his invention to the army, he vanishes, leaving behind no trace but a dead terrier. If Gaunt’s weapon falls into Peterson’s hands, the criminal mastermind will have the power to bend the world to his will. Tracking him down will be Bulldog’s greatest adventure yet—and perhaps his last.

The Final Count

No man in Europe can stop Bulldog Drummond, but now it’s a woman’s turn to try

Bulldog Drummond has retired from fighting tyranny to live peacefully with his wife, Phyllis, in the English countryside. He is just leaving his sleepy local pub when he is accosted by two sinister strangers. With a few quick movements, Drummond leaves the men dazed, bloodied, and eager to make a hasty retreat. The question is, who sent them? Drummond is certain he knows—a mysterious woman has lately been trying to intimidate him, and now she has decided to make her threats real. The truth, unfortunately, is far more diabolical.

When he returns home, Drummond discovers that after their thrashing at the pub, the men went forward with their real plan: kidnapping Phyllis. Getting her back will be the most perilous adventure Drummond has ever undertaken, but he is willing to risk everything and meet his most dangerous foe yet in order to keep his beloved wife safe.

Caught in a deadly conspiracy, a young man stumbles into the only person who can help: Bulldog Drummond

Far from home, Marton staggers across a foggy moor, evil in close pursuit. A shot whizzes past his ear and Marton thinks his time has come. He is about to give up when he sees a house up ahead and finds new strength. Inside the isolated cottage, Bulldog Drummond, tough-nosed defender of England, has been bored for weeks and is grateful for the company, as out-of-breath and terrified as Marton may be. Before hearing his guest’s story, Drummond goes to make drinks. When he returns, Marton is gone.

Drummond’s only clues are a name—Comtessa Bartelozzi—and a newspaper article that suggests Marton’s father recently killed himself. Soon, however, England’s greatest hero discovers that the mysterious young man is caught up in a sinister plot that threatens to destabilize the entire nation. Saving Marton and keeping England free will mean risking life and limb, but Bulldog Drummond was never cut out for a quiet life in the country.
