Recenzii

Terrific -- when better novels of suspense are written, lead me to them.
A model thriller.plotted like a detective story, full of authentic detail on flying, played in exotic locales, peopled with beautiful gals and glamorous gents. Like its hard-flying hero, it's a natural.
There should be dancing in the library aisles to greet the debut of Gavin Lyall, who proves in his first novel that it's possible to combine all the exotic attractions with a first-rate suspense plot, which would command taut attention whatever its background.
A wonderfully entertaining tale.a well-done piece of international intrigue.
