Filename: 1965 UNDERTOW pb signet.jpg
"Desmond Cory provides what is far and away one of the most sheerly exciting climaxes of the year. Undertow is a gem-hard thriller, plotted lightly, told with economy and vigour. It calls for load hurrahs for Mr. Cory - and for many encores" BUFFALO EVENING NEWS. "For my money, Johnny Fedora, professional killer for British Intelligence, more than deserves to take over James Bond's avid audience". Anthony Boucher, NEW YORK TIMES 1965. "Desmond Cory has written the ultimate in international spy activities ... a real old-fashioned thriller." - NEW YORK MORNING POST 1965 |
