Cracking good so far. As always, with Adam Hall. Quiller is as tough as a tungsten railroad spike! The character is just out there. No savings, no dependents, no next-of-kin. Apparently he was forced to hone his survival skills to a pitch in WWII and now gets restless when he isn't involved in some kind of threat or challenge. Addicted to action. Like a shark that can't sleep because it has to stay moving.

Quiller in Germany investigating a series of fighter plane crashes. Not as many plot twists as usual, or as much action, or even a particularly interesting story line, so only 3.5 stars. It does have a gruesomely well rendered torture chapter.
Typical Elleston Trevor (Adam Hall) ... great mystery, pace, tight prose, spycraft, etc. The ending was a bit weak, however (otherwise 5 stars).
