“(S)he sat in the darkest corner of the waiting room...” ... is the first line of a book I read in about 1973.
This book is a real mystery to me, as I have a very vivid memory of it being called "Captives of the Web", yet I can find no trace of such a title, or anything similar, Like "Prisoners of the Web". So, I guess, memory fail!
It’s about a criminal mastermind who runs a drug network, and was set in contemporary (late 1960s/early 1970s) London.
The cover was dark, with a shadowy figure on the left and a brighter tunnel opening on the right.
At least, that's what my memory insists!
Any help very gratefully received
Many thanks
Mike
