Webster, the athlete, athletics coach and author who F.A.M. Webster lived from 1886 to 1949, wrote a series of fifteen spy thrillers under the Spy thrillers pseudonym of Michael Annesley. His hero, Lawrie Fenton, is a lively and Michael laid-back secret agent for the fictional Intelligence Branch of the (British) Annesley Foreign Office. The books were published between 1935 and 1950, and Lawrie Fenton the series is important because of its European settings, analyses of The Great Game contemporary politics, insights into contemporary points of view, and snapshots of events and places. Fenton was a new and exciting hero for his times. The paper establishes Webster’s unrecognized but important influence on the development of the spy thriller. The photographs are from the Webster family collection. MICHAEL ANNESLEY = F.A.M. WEBSTER Frederick Annesley Michael Webster was born on 27 June 1886. He was an athlete who started his long involvement with British athletics and the Olympic movement by reporting on the London Olympics in 1908.

Critical surveys looking back across the decades finds these subgenres difficult to distinguish over time but writers of the 1930s are very much aware of which subgenre they are writing in and its relative status. In 1942 Nicholas Blake asserted that ‘It is an established fact that the detective novel proper is read almost exclusively by the upper and professional classes. The so-called “lower middle” and “working classes” tend to read “bloods”, thrillers.’ And, he points out, ‘the modern thriller is generally much below the detective story in sophistication and style’ (xxii) Given the perceived hierarchy of readership and regard, defining the difference between these subgenres became important to some authors.
