Reviews

[Mark H · Rating 3 out of 5]

Efficient novelisation. Though weirdly less violent and less sexual than the movie. Also the ending isn’t quite the same, perhaps based on an earlier version of the screenplay.
‘Peter Saxon’ is a “bucket name”, which means it’s a pseudonym used by several different authors. In this case, writers of the popular Sexton Blake paperbacks.
