Gallions Reach (1927) is a novel by H.M.Tomlinson first published by Heinemann in the UK and by Harper & Brothers in the US. The book was Tomlinson's debut novel.[1] It was republished by Penguin Books in 1952. It is a literary crime novel, initially set in London, before moving to Malaya.[2] It is notable in that Tomlinson uses real streets and locations for settings.
The protagonist, Jimmy Colet, commits a serious crime near the start of the novel, and, despite originally intending to give himself up, leaves London by ship soon afterwards.
Tomlinson uses the stream-of-consciousness technique throughout the novel.
