Der Zinker (Originaltitel: The Squeaker) ist ein Kriminalroman und ein Bühnenstück des englischen Schriftstellers Edgar Wallace. Der Zinker ist ein gefürchteter Hehler in der Londoner Unterwelt. Er erpresst Gauner, die ihm gestohlene Ware für einen Bruchteil des wahren Wertes verkaufen müssen. Andernfalls werden die Ganoven bei Scotland Yard „verzinkt“, also denunziert. Eines Tages kommt es zu einem Mord, der auf das Konto des Zinkers geht. Die Spur führt die Inspektoren Elford und Barrabal zu der Import-Export-Firma von Frank Sutton. Auch der Reporter Josua Harras wittert eine große Chance und heftet sich an die Fährte des Zinkers.
