Reviews

[Karl · Rating 4 out of 5]

well-written Britishness of the whole affair recalls Adam Hall’s Quiller books.
This is the third in the series. First published in the UK in 1973. US publication in 1974.

[M. Sprouse · Rating 3 out of 5]

Part secret agent, part private eye, and part idiot, this book was interesting, but not terribly. There is plenty of suspense and action. I would have rated it higher, but the main character, Philis, kept making decisions that weren't necessary or were very stupid. I just couldn't see him surviving as a secret agent or a PI.
