English author Storm Jameson had a prolific and varied career, which included essays, critical reviews, short stories, and novels in many genres. Of the latter, Here Comes a Candle (1938) is a suspenseful character study—literally a fire waiting to ignite—built around the motley, often disreputable crew occupying a London rooming house above a nightclub and café bar.
