Puppet on a Chain [rare books] by Alistair Maclean

"Paul Sherman of Interpol's Narcotics Bureau flies to Amsterdam on the trail of a dope king... With enormous skill the atmosphere is built up: Amsterdam with its canals and high houses; stolid police; psychopaths; beautiful giris în distress; and murder, murder, murder. Everything that Alistair Maclean writes is an immediate bestseller. With this book, he will make another killing."

SUNDAY MIRROR

"One of the best in the Greene-Ambler-MacInnes tradition that I have come across... A top drawer effort filled to bursting with murder and mayhem, grit and gore. If you have any red corpuscles in your blood, you will find your heart pumping triple time... The writing is as crisp as a sunny winter morning."
