Description

The dark underworld of espionage and crime is lit up by the fatal charms of the gorgeous Modesty Blaise - high priestess of pulp crime and goddess of cult thrillers! Modesty Blaise investigates a murderous family in "The Bluebeard Affair"; her partner, Willie Garvin, joins her to help the FBI in New Orleans in "The Gallows Bird"; in "The Wicked Gnomes", a dangerous organisation kidnaps an old friend; and a crash-landing in the jungle spells trouble in "The Iron God", as diamond thieves threaten our heroes! Featuring brand new story introductions by Modesty creator Peter O'Donnell, plus a very rare interview with O'Donnell, this latest addition to the "Modesty Blaise" library is not to be missed!

Reviews

"Brilliant slices of retro-chic." - SFX Magazine "A blueprint for the ass-kicking femme" - The Guardian "These are the finest escapist thrillers ever written... It is wonderful that the books are being reissued, that Modesty Blaise is back." - The Times"
