Blondie Iscariot is a 1948 crime novel by the British author Edgar Lustgarten, later known as the host of the television shows Scotland Yard.[1] [2] It revolves around an attractive but treacherous London Gangster's Moll, who betrays several racketeers in post-Second World War London. It was critically the least well-received of his novels[3] It has been described as "a sordid and shoddy melodrama lacking the sensitivity and promise of his earlier tale" A Case to Answer.[4]
