Inhaltsangabe

Frustrated with the sheer ennui of London life and looking for fresh excitement, Anthony Anstruther and his girlfriend leave a nightclub to find a drunken Russian tramp playing noughts and crosses in chalk on Anthony’s car. This seemingly innocent enterprise spurs on a chain of events involving the British Secret Service and an assassination that would shake the Empire to its foundations.


In this thrilling trio of adventures, Sir Leonard Wallace and his Secret Service agents will thwart criminal endeavours from Hong Kong to Afghanistan and they’ll stop at nothing to save the day.

A&B are thrilled to be reissuing these Golden Age espionage thrillers, by a writer who was hugely well reviewed in his heyday. There are nine titles in the series which will be republished during 2015 & 2016. BOOK 9 in the Wallace of the Secret Service series. Much recent media attention given to Wilson’s mysterious and colourful background, with articles in the Independent and London Evening Standard. The actor Ruth Wilson, the author’s granddaughter, is to be involved in publicity of the book, alongside a dedicated publicist. The British Library’s reissue programme proves how enduringly popular these classic novels are.
