''The Bravo of London'' is a 1934 mystery thriller novel by the British writer Ernest Bramah. It featured his most celebrated character the blind detective Max Carrados. It was the first and only full-length novel to feature Carrados, who usually appeared in short stories. In a later review David Langford described it as "a disappointing performance whose most memorable section turns out to be a recycling of one of the short stories". Another modern commentator observed that only in this novel "did Bramah's invention flag, though Joolby, a criminal antique dealer, makes for a memorable villain".Miskimmin p.88
