A classic adventure yarn from a master of the genre - By: A. C. S. Swinson, 18 Oct 2005
Dornford Yates began his writing careerin the early part of the last century with a series of light social comedies, before switching to thrillers/adventure yarns, of which he must have written nearly 20. Most feature either Jonah Mansel or Richard Chandos, & have exotic locations - the South of France or middle Europe - & a cast of equally exotic villains. If you have not read them before, then notwithstanding its placein the middle of the sequence - this book is not a bad place to start. A ripping Yarn.
