A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

When a Turkish bandit holds engineers building the Baghdad Railway to ransom, Britain is secretly relieved as the Railway threatens the Persian Gulf oil-fields.

Feigning help, the Foreign Office sends the notorious Lady Kelso, once lover of the bandit chief, with Captain Matthew Ranklin and Conall O'Gilroy of the fledgling Secret Service Bureau as 'diplomatic protection'.

A journey by the Kaiser's private train to the bandit stronghold leads through ambush, betrayal, murder and bombardment. For there are others - German, Turkish and French - honourably putting their countries' interests above everything.

In the misty Turkish mountains, all of Ranklin's military experience and O'Gilroy's back-streets savvy are tested to the full.

Biographie de l'auteur :

'For style without affection, ruthlessness without the usual mindlessness, Lyall is likely to be your man' - The Guardian. When Gavin Lyall's first book, THE WRONG SIDE OF THE SKY, was published in 1961, P.G. Woodhouse wrote: 'Terrific! When better novels of suspense than this are written, lead me to them.' After six more adventure novels including MIDNIGHT PLUS ONE, winner of the Crime Writers' Association Silver Dagger, Lyall created Major Harry Maxim, Whitehall trouble-shooter (played on TV by Charles Dance). Gavin Lyall lives in London and is married to Katharine Whitehorn
