Overview

Bob Kerr had every reason in the world not to want a visitor that afternoon. Looking forward to a relaxing afternoon away from the trials of Department Z, Bob Kerr eagerly awaits the arrival of fellow agent Lois Dacre. He is temporarily amused by the sight of a passer-by oddly dressed in an enormous fur coat on an exceptionally warm day. Disrupted from his reverie by a call from Agent Craigie, Kerr is alerted to new developments in the principality of Vallena. Kerr cuts the call short to answer a knock at his door. Suspiciously, the visitor is the man in the fur coat. Come from Vallena. The information the man relays to Kerr is life-threatening. The visitor has a hit out on his own life and Kerr is next on the list. As the number of assassinations in Vallena mount, British officials are put in the line of fire. Agent Kerr and Department Z must work swiftly and tirelessly in order to topple the criminal organisation before another life is lost.

Reviews

Creasey is creating his own kind of Comedie Humane-Policiere - and a splendid achievement it is. -- Anthony Boucher for The New York Times Phenomenal -- Life Magazine I thoroughly enjoyed Menace, which is a rip roaring adventure with a high body count, plenty of action and some wonderfully resourceful British agents. -- Amazon Reviewer Menace is a good old fashioned thriller where the plot is really all that counts, so I have no hesitation in recommending as a superior read in this genre. -- Amazon Reviewer This series keeps getting better and better (if that were possible!), a gripping tale of international espionage with the world on the brink of war. -- Amazon Reviewer
