Description
When Anthony Bliss - roguish ladies man and con-artist extraordinaire - meets gorgeous Corinne Lake, whose wit, charm and eye for the finer things in life make her utterly irresistible, sparks fly. Their combination of passion and intellect make them perfect partners - in crime.
Putting their heads together, they dream up a scheme for success - by smuggling a crooked financier out of England they could stand to make a fortune. In an action-packed race against time, the pair go over every detail of their plan - but is it enough to pull off the heist of a lifetime?
'It is impossible for Andrew Garve to be anything but supremely readable' Guardian
'The ensuing complications and surprises are highly ingenious, making this Andrew Garve's best for several books' Sunday Times

Person
Andrew Garve is the pen name of Paul Winterton (1908-2001). He was born in Leicester and educated at the Hulme Grammar School, Manchester and Purley County School, Surrey, after which he took a degree in Economics at London University. He was on the staff of The Economist for four years, and then worked for fourteen years for the London News Chronicle as reporter, leader writer and foreign correspondent. He was assigned to Moscow from 1942 to 1945, where he was also the correspondent of the BBC's Overseas Service.
After the war he turned to full-time writing of detective and adventure novels and produced more than forty-five books. His work was serialized, televised, broadcast, filmed and translated into some twenty languages. He is noted for his varied and unusual backgrounds - which have included Russia, newspaper offices, the West Indies, ocean sailing, the Australian outback, politics, mountaineering and forestry - and for never repeating a plot.
Andrew Garve was a founder member and first joint secretary of the Crime Writers' Association.
