The Tiger In The Smoke by Margery Allingham

As the word goes round that Jack Havoc, jail-breaker and knife-artist, is at large again, carving his way into more (or less) innocent lives, the hunt goes up for the Tiger in the Smoke and Albert Campion and Chief Inspector Luke draw a tight net round a man-eater loose in London's November smog. 

A well written, interesting, intricate mystery. Very much a product of it's time (late 1940's).
