Filename: 1960 THE HEAD hb muller.jpg
Fedora's 11th assignment, set in Spain. Reviews: "There is these days a comparatively slender band of first-calss writers who are producing thrillers worthy of serious attention - among them authors like Margaret Allingham, John Creasy, Carter Dickson, David Dodge, Ellery Queen, Simenon, and, of course, Agatha Chrsitie. Among them, too, is Desmond Cory, a man whose ingenuity, imagination, and good humour pervade his works with an agreeable excitement and readability."-BRISTOL EVENING POST 1960. |
