It all begins with a simple errand - a package to deliver. But for Alan Stewart, standing on a deserted road in Iceland with a murdered man at his feet, the mission looks far from simple. Set amongst some of the most dramatic scenery in the world, Stewart and his girlfriend, Erin, are faced with treacherous natural obstacles and deadly threats, as they battle to carry out the mission. The contents of the package are a surprise for the reader as much as for Stewart in a finale of formidable energy.
Desmond Bagley Knihy
29. október 1923 – 12. apríl 1983
Desmond Bagley bol britský novinár a romanopisec, preslávený svojimi najpredávanejšími thrillermi. Spolu s ďalšími britskými autormi, ako boli Hammond Innes a Alistair MacLean, definoval základné konvencie žánru: drsný, vynaliezavý, ale v podstate obyčajný hrdina postavený proti zloduchom s cieľom zasievať skazu a chaos. Jeho diela často skúmajú konflikty v exotickom prostredí a odhaľujú temné stránky ľudskej povahy, zatiaľ čo napínavý dej plynie ako rieka. Bagleyho štýl sa vyznačuje rýchlym tempom, precíznym vykreslením akčných scén a dôrazom na psychologické napätie.
A catastrophic avalanche brings disaster to the inhabitants of a small New Zealand mining town, bringing out the best and the worst in the people.

Double action thrillers by the classic adventure writer set in Norway, Finland and Sweden. THE TIGHTROPE MEN When Giles Denison of Hampstead wakes up in an Oslo hotel room and finds the face looking back at him in the mirror is not his own, things could surely get no more bizarre. But it is only the beginning of a hair-raising adventure in which Denison finds himself trapped with no way to escape. One false move and the whole delicately balanced power structure between East and West will come toppling down… THE ENEMY Wealthy, respectable George Ashton flees for his life after an acid attack on his daughter. Who is his enemy? Only Malcolm Jaggard, his future son-in-law, can guess, after seeing Ashton's top secret government file. In a desperate manhunt, Jaggard pits himself against the KGB and stalks Ashton to the silent, wintry forests of Sweden. But his search for the enemy has barely begun… Includes a unique bonus - Desmond Bagley's pen portrait, written for the original publication of The Tightrope Men.
