Description

These further enthralling exploits of Sir Leonard Wallace, the famous Chief of Secret Service and his no less famous lieutenants, Shannon and Cousins - cool, resolute, daring men, ready in an instant for the most perilous enterprise or desperate affray - are in the tradition of Major Wilson's most absorbing work.

Reviews

"Three for the price of one, and that makes it very similar to some of the early Saint adventures - sometimes a shorter novel, or novelette, is all you need to get you off to sleep at night. The style and beauty of these fantastic books is remarkable - hats off to Allison and Busby's art department! Timeless classics that rival Fleming's James Bond series for excitement, adventure and drama!"--Books Monthly
